You need a lot of hard work and patience to crack this exam so be prepared for it.

this is the eligibility criteria for the civil service examinations. hope you get satisfied with this information.

upsc IFS exam how many height required.............

To appear within the limit of 4 number of attempts, is somehow fair but unjustified as there are many number of candidates from the poverty and underprivileged sections among the status of General candidates with a full grown talents, and unable to utilized due to weak in the financial and economic streangth. the limit must be considered for extension for 6 times by the UPSC BOARD.
From Amit.

last time i filled the IES form but i was unable to attend it due to another exam on the same day and i did not attended any paper of IES exam will that be counted as an attempt in IES

My name is saroj verma
my date of birth is 7feb 1979
my catgry OBC
Plz tell me can i attempt 2012 upsc exam

Hi,

I have a doubt here. When filling the prelims application form i mentioned that i belong to OBC category as my father`s income was less than 450,000. But after few days if filling the form (after the last date of filling the form) i came to know that for govenrment employees (my father is a retired govt officer), only their position is considered for determining if you belong to OBC creamy/non creamy layer. My father was recuited as a class II officer and got promoted to Class I before he turned 40. So as per the rule i don`t belong to the non creamy layer. So i wanted to change my application form but UPSC doesnot allow it. My question is if i clear the prelims with marks greater then the general cutoff marks will i be able to change the details in the main application form?

Regards,
samrat

I m in obc category ,so what is the age limit for upsc?

dear friend.

Number of attempts for upsc.

General candidates: four attempts.

Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe candidates: No restriction.

Other Backward Classes: seven attempts.

more details visit the official websites.

hi,
UPSC exam stands for union public service commision.
Age limit is 21 to 30 years.
Age relaxation is given by goverment rules.
A maximum of 4 attempts is permitted to every candidate and 7 to those belonging to Other Backward Classes. There is no restriction on the number of attempts in the case of SC/ST candidates. All this, provided you are still under the age limit. A physically handicapped person will get as many attempts as any other non-handicapped candidate of his/her community, but if they are from the general category they will get 7 attempts. It is wiser to be mentally ready for several attempts as cracking the Civil Services Exams is a tough nut to crack the first time around; and if you do qualify you may want to attempt again to improve your ranking and therefore your service allotment.
