Hello friend,

The IFS Exam is one of the most sought for exam in India and it is conducted every year by Union Public Service Commission along with IAS Exam. This exam is equally tough as of IAS Exam and the basic eligibility criteria is as follows –

1. Candidate must be a citizen of India
2. Candidate must possess a graduation degree
3. Final year candidate can also appear for the exam but they have to produce their mark sheet before interview.
4. Age Limit is 21 – 27 years
5. Category reservations are available as per the category (Gen – No, OBC – 03 years, SC/ST – 5 years)

Exam is conducted in 03 phase –

1. Pre
2. Mains
3. Interview

You have to choose IFS option during filling the form as both the forms of IAS and IFS are identical.

If you are a graduate then no intermediate subject matters and you can sit for the exam irrespective of your inter subject.

Hope it will help

IFS stands for Indian Forest Services as well as Indian Foreign Services.
Both of them require UPSC Civil Services Examination to be cleared with good marks.
For Indian Forest services, there is special requirement in graduation, details of which are available on the UPSC website.
