Minimum criteria for Indian Administrative Services examination is graduation from an UGC recognized university. UPSC has clearly mentioned that a candidate just need to secure passing marks in graduation to be eligible for Civil Services examination.

So, percentage of marks do not play any vital role in case of Civil Services exam. You must be hardworking, dedicated and determined towards your goal to crack the exam. Age limit is 21-32 years. There are six attempts for general category, nine attempts for OBC candidate and no limit for SC/ST candidates.
