To become Deputy Collector the candidate has to complete Civil Service Examination conducted by the UPSC. The civil service examination is common for IAS, IPS, IFS etc. There are Preliminary Examination, Main Examination and Interview for the selection. The candidates have to complete graduation in any discipline to appear for the Preliminary Examination. The maximum age limit will be 32 years. There are various coaching classes & books available for the civil service examination. The interested candidates can make use of it to clear the civil service examination. So after clearing the preliminary examination, they have to appear for main examination and finally interview. Based on the rank scored in the civil service examination the allotment to IAS, IPS etc will be done.

First of all there is no direct procedure to become a deputy collector. You need to gain experience and then only you will get promoted to such level. You need to apply for UPSC civil services exam for which graduation is needed.

After cracking written exam and interview you will get the required training before getting absorbed as an IAS officer. If you have good track record then surely you will get promoted.

How many years does it take to become a deputy collector after cracking the upsc exam?
