Re: How can i become an IAS officer if I took a gap after Graduation?

No problem. You can write the exam and become an IAS officer but your age

is now 29 by your date of birth. So you have only this year and next year as

the chance and you must not fail.

How can i become an IAS officer if I took a gap after Graduation?

hi friend,

It is good that you are thinking of IAS exam at this moment of your life. All it needs only devotion. As date of birth mentioned by , you are eligible to take IAS exams only two times if you belong to general category,seven times if belongs to sc/st and five times if belong to obc category.

Now move on to subjects taken in IAS, you have also mentioned that you taught after your study period, it was beneficial only if you taught same subjects as in your teaching time. But I dont think so that there is any subject common in the IAS syllabus and school's book.
Means you have to start from the beginning, so choose atleast two subject for IAS exam for which you want to take the exam. Study GK as much as you can from various publication(rai pub. or upkar pub.) all are equally beneficial.

Dear,

According to me , even if you had a gap after graduation , then there is no problem because the minimum educational qualification required is to be a graduate in any field.

Apart from that the age limitation is between 21-30 years for the general , 21-35 years for the SC/ST , 21-33 years for the OBC.

In case of the no. of attempts , general get 4 , SC/ST get unlimited while the OBC get 7 attempts to clear the exam.

You need to first clear the CSAT before appearing for the mains.

dear friend

to appear in IAS if you are a general candidate then you should not have crossed the age of 30.

gap after graduation doesnot matter for it.

so if you have not crossed that age limit then of course you can apply.

also you will get more age relaxation if you are OBC, SC OR ST.

ALL THE BEST.

Re: How can i become an IAS officer if I took a gap after Graduation?

For civil services exams gap doesn't matter in between your study period. At the time of interview experts will defenitely will ask you this question "what you did in that gap..?" give answer onestly wht you did. Telling the truth is better than a lie.

And age limit is 21-30 yrs for general, up to maximum of 5 years for sc/st, up to maximum of 3 years for obc, up to maximum of 10 years for physically handicapped people.

A general candidate can give max.4 times, obc 7 times max, and there is no restriction of number of attempts for sc/st candidates.

For more information go through civilservicesindia.com

Re: How can i become an IAS officer if I took a gap after Graduation?

dear friend,
gap after your graduation doesn't matter for IAS exam.
If you can prepare for this exam then you must try for it, but you have to know one thing that your age must not be exceeded from 30 years.
& the question about your gap after your graduation may arise in the time of interview, but you can discuss about your problem & also ask what was you doing in these period of time.
& fro more information regarding the criteria for IAS exam you can visit:
www.upsc.gov.in

good luck.

Re: How can i become an IAS officer if I took a gap after Graduation?

Hello sir!

You haven't crossed your age limit, so you can apply for civils. Maximum attempts for a candidate is 4 times that means you have another two years of chance to write because your age will cross the limit after that.

No need to think again and again, just fill up the form and prepare for the exam. Gap is not for the education you took it for personal works and it wont effect your brain. If you are updated with everdays news about politics , economics, geography, etc., then you will make it to prelims then to interview.

If you have any doubts just search and get updated with the news about IAS exam in the civils official website.

Good luck!
