ByAnuj jindal
To be qualified to sit the IAS exams, you must first hold a bachelor’s degree, and this is just one of the qualifying requirements.
 
There are also other eligibility criteria for CSE that you should look at before applying for the IAS test online.
 
To be eligible to take the UPSC exam, you must first ensure that you have the necessary educational requirements.
 
The educational requirements for appearing are not as stringent as they are for other exams such as the UGC NET and RBI Grade B.

UPSC IAS Exam Eligibility: Nationality

To appear for the UPSC IAS & IPS exams you need to be a citizen of India, for all other services, you must be either:

  1. A citizen of India,
  2. Or a subject of Nepal,
  3. Or a subject of Bhutan,
  4. Or a refugee from Tibet that came to India before the 1st of January 1962 with the intention of settling in India permanently.

Various age limit relaxations have been allowed for the various groups of SC/ST/OBC/others, which we will look into in the next section.

UPSC IAS Eligibility Criteria: Minimum Educational Qualification

I have written the UPSC eligibility based on educational qualifications in detail below:

You must have proof of graduation from a centrally or state-recognized university to sit for the UPSC IAS test. This means you must have a bachelor’s degree certificate from any university established by an Act of the State and Central Legislatures of India, or any institute of education established by an Act of the Parliament of India, or one declared a deemed university under Section-3 of the University Grants Commission Act of 1956, or a qualification equivalent to it.

The UPSC Civil Services Exam (CSE) is conducted every year to recruit candidates to various civil services of the Indian central government such as IAS, IPS, IFS (Foreign), IRS, IP & TAFS, IFoS (Forest), ITS, etc. It is one of the toughest exams in the country.

The UPSC CSE is also popularly known as the IAS exam and is conducted subsequently after the official release of the UPSC vacancy memo.

The UPSC exam is no shorter than a marathon I tell you. It has three rounds that you need to clear in order to get selected as an IAS officer. The first round that you’d need to clear is the Prelims, the second round is Mains, and,the third and final round is the personal interviews.
