Yes offcourse you can go for IAS exam.
Minimum education criteria = Graduate
Maximum age criteria = 28yrs (for General category and I think it is 32 years for SC/ ST categories)

AND also the pattern for UPSC has changed.It consits of two paper and each paper of Two hrs..


(Paper 1) (200 marks) consists of
Current events.
History

and General science.

(Paper II) (200 marks)
Comprehension
Logical reasoning and analytical ability

Based on the overall ranking and your choice of cadre, you will be provided IFS (Indian Foreign Service), IAS or IPS. The higher your rank, the choice is with you.
