No, IAS exam doesn't require any percentage marks in IAS exam.

If you have completed graduation degree from a recognized University then you are eligible for IAS exam.

Final year candidates are eligible for IAS exam.

Your age should be in between 21 to 32 years.

The physical requirement is as follows;

> Candidate's height should not be below 165 cms for men and 150 cms for women.

> Candidate's chest size should not be below 84 cms for men and 79 cms for women.

> Eyesight in both the sexes should be 6/6.

If you are physically and mentally fit then you are eligible to become Indian Administrative Services officer. Like Indian Police Service officer, there is no such specific criteria required for IAS officer. You need to satisfy following eligibility criteria:

1. Bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognised university.

2. Age limit is 21-32 years with relaxation to reserved category.

For IAS cadre even physically handicapped candidates are eligible. There is physical requirements only for IPS cadre, as it involves rigorous training before joining.

Hence, you shouldn't worry about physical fitness, if you are aiming for IAS officer post. Just make sure that you are well prepared for prelims, mains and interview.
