There are several relaxation given to physically handicapped candidates in age limit as well as in cut off marks in exams. So, there is nothing to worry regarding being phyiscally handicapped, you need to give your best efforts in exam to crack.

IAS officers after certain years of experience become Magistrate of a District. You can apply for Civil Services exam. There are three stages of this exam namely, Preliminary, Mains exam and interview.

The age limit is 21-32 years. Upper age relaxed for OBC, SC/ST, PH category candidates. Ira Singhal, 2015 Civil Services topper being a physically challenged candidate is a inspiration for all.
