Remember, Graduation does not mean that Bachelor Degree in Commerce, Science or Arts. Candidates from Engineering background are actually treated as Graduates. So notice that "Graduation" does not mean only Traditional Bachelor Degree courses namely,
> Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com)
> Bachelor of Arts (B.A)
> Bachelor of Science (B.Sc)
So kindly keep in mind that below mentioned Graduate Degrees are also treated bachelor Degrees.
> Bachelor of Engineering (B.E) / Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech)
> Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA)
> Bachelor of Business Management (BBM)

The basic educational qualification required to be eligible for giving Indian Administrative Services Examination is "Graduate Degree" whether it may be B.A/ B.Sc/ B.Tech/ B.E/ B.Com/ BBA or its equivalent degree. Candidates who have completed Graduation in ANY DISCIPLINE from a recognized university are eligible to give IAS Examination. Yes, candidates who have completed Graduation in Engineering (B.Tech) or in its equivalent streams are eligible to appear in IAS Examination.

> Personal Interview

Eligibility criteria for Civil Service Exam:

Graduation in any stream from a recognized University.
Candidates pursuing final year of Graduation are also eligible for the exam.
