Hi everyone, I want to become an IAS Officer. Currently I am studying in 10th standard. I would like to know what percentage of marks I have to score in 10th and 12th for writing IAS exam?

The examination is conducted by UPSC. The eligibility to appear in the examination is that candidate must have passed bachelor degree from a recognised university.

There is no minimum specific aggregate required to appear for the examination other than the passing aggregate.

Now, as far as you are concerned about the minimum marks required in Class 10th and Class 12th to be eligible for becoming an IAS officer i.e; for appearing in the Civil Services examination then there is no such minimum marks requirement criteria at any stage of academics and therefore a degree holder in any discipline with whatever percentage of marks are eligible to apply for the Civil Services examination as far as the educational requirement for the same is concerned.
