Up to my knowledge there is no restriction for the selection of IAS in this regard

you only need to worry if you are interested in IPS

There will some Physical standards that need to be fulfilled in the test conducted there.

Anyways I will attach you a file which is related to Physical requirement but no need to worry in that physical requirement it is only stressed on IPS

not on IAS so be cool

and prepare the best for IAS entrance

Please do check this attachment which is in Txt format

Height is not at all a criteria for writing Ias examination. if you opt for IPS, height is considered but not for IAS.
So prepare for the examination without worrying.

All the best!

Off-course you can apply for IAS, there is only criteria for age and qualification,
age should be in between 21-35,
qualification should be "graduate"

I believe you are confused between IAS and IPS. You must differentiate between Indian Administrative Service and Indian Police Service. While to appear for IPS entrance exam, the candidate is required to meet some physical criteria. There is no such limit for the IAS.

It is due to the nature of work. Since IPS is related to security and law & order, each candidate has to meet certain criteria related to height, chest, weight, eye sight etc.

There is simply no such restriction for the Indian Administrative Service. As the matter of fact, even physically disabled candidates can also apply for the Indian Administrative Service. There is some quota for such candidates.

I hope this will assure you to apply for the Indian Administrative Service without any fear. Please start the preparations as soon as possible and don't think about the physical requirements.


Eligibility

1. A citizen of India is eligible to apply.

2. The candidate must be graduation degree holder.

3. You are not required to meet any percentage criteria in graduation.

4. Age limit for IAS is 21 to 30 years for General candidates.

5. An OBC candidate can apply for IAS till 33 years.

6. While te SC and ST can apply till 35 years of age.


Exam Pattern

1. Preliminary Exam

2. Main Exam

3. Interview

Dear..

Let me tell you that there is no minimum height criteria specified for the IAS exam yes but if you go for IPS then there are some physical measures which you need to follow. so if you are planning for IAS only then there is no need to get disturbed by this small thing as it is not gonna affect you and i advice you to stop thinking about this and concentrate over your studies.

Other eligibility is as follows :-

1. All graduate are eligible
2. Graduation must be done from a recognized university
3. Only Indian citizen are eligible
4. Age limit is 20-30 years
5. Graduation subject does not matter at all
6. relaxation to those who belong to SC, ST and OBC
7. Attempts are also limited that is why a thorough preparation in mandatory.
8. No minimum percentage criteria for IAS.

Hope it will help

Cheers...!!!
