Yes you are eligible for IAS Exam without any doubt if you fulfill other conditions like age and educational qualification. In fact physically handicapped candidates get reservation and there is age relaxation also available for you.

You are a BA Graduate and that is absolutely fine for IAS exam if you have done it from a recognized University.

The age limit for IAS exam is 21 to 30 years. There is age relaxation available for reserved category candidates.

1. SC/ST : 5 years relaxation

There you should start preparing for CSAT and don't worry about anything.
