Respected Sir, I want to become a District Collector, I have completed my class 10th so I want to know which stream should I choose in class 11th to become a District Collector? Which entrance exam do I have to write? Please answer as soon as possible.

You have taken a very good decision to become a District Collector in future. You are now in 10th standard, so after that you have to complete your 12th standard in any stream and then graduation. There is no specific stream required to become a District Collector. You just have to fulfill the following eligibility criteria:

> You must be a citizen of India.

> You must hold a bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognized college/university.

> Your age should be in between 21 to 30 years. For OBC candidates 21 to 33 years and for SC/ST 21 to 35 years.

With this eligibility criteria you have to appear for Civil Services Examination which is conducted by UPSC every year. Therefore, there is no specific stream required to become a District Collector.

Indian Administrative Services officers are certain years of experience in service become District Collector. The entrance examination for joining Indian Administrative Services is Civil Services examination. Civil Services examination is conducted by Union Public Service Commission.
