Hello,

If I understand you correctly, you are having or going to have a BTech degree in IT and you are asking whether you can take Engineering Services Exam of UPSC in Civil Engg.

If my understanding is correct, then the answer is NO. Because, having interest in Civil Engg is different from clearing the exam. The questions in the exam, including in Civil Engg, would be of degree level. I doubt you would be able to answer them satisfactorily when you have not done your degree course in Civil Engg. For your guideance, go the the UPSC website http://www.upsc.gov.in/ and look at the link Previous Years Question Papers and get hold of last few years' question papers. That would clear all your doubt.

Incidentally, why did you take IT, if Civil Engg was your favourite?
