There are some other requirements to be satisfied, such as the appearing student must be an Indian for IAS exam. A candidate appearing for Indian Civil Services Exam must be at least 21 years of age and should not exceed 30 years of age. But in some cases these age bars are a bit relaxed. For example :- it can be maximized up to 5 years if a candidate belongs to SC/ST category, it can be maximized up to 3 years in case of any other backward classes, the upper limit can be relaxed to 5 years if someone is domiciled in Jammu and Kashmir.

There are many other requisites but these are not considered to be at the tougher side. The toughest part is the written tests and the interview. Getting a job in Indian Civil Services is not easy. It is like serving your nation, and to attain such a position in this level of difficulty is considered to be just like a drop of water in the Indian Ocean.
