You can appear for IAS exam in any Regional language. It came into existence from the year 2013, as per statement made by Minister for Personnel and Training, "V.Narayanasamy" in parliament. And at the same time, you can choose the same language to attend for the IAS interview.
So, you can Hindi or any other Regional language to appear for the IAS exams.
