Well sorry to say,you are not eligible for IAS examination.If you are interested in the IAS examination you must satisfy the below conditions..

IAS: Indian Administrative Service. UPSC should conducts the exam every year.

Eligibility IAS:

You have to complete the graduation in any discipline from any recognized university.

And the age should be 21-30 years.The upper age limit will be applicable for ST/Sc/OBC candidates.

3 years for OBC
4 years for ST/SC

You must be citizen from India.


So after completion of your graduation only you can go for IAS examination.First you have to complete the graduation....

No friend at the age of 17 years you can not get eligibility for IAS entrance examination.IAS(Indian Administrative services)is conducted by Union Public Service Commission every year.IAS is the part of Civil Services. An IAS candidate to qualify preliminary/CSAT test first then Mains and interview is needed to qualify to get appointment as an IAS officer following merit lists.This is one of the toughest entrance examination in India.Before applying a candidate to go through IAS Eligibility.

IAS ELIGIBILITY:-

1. A Graduate or a final year candidate from the recognized University in any discipline can write IAS entrance examination.

2.AGE: GENERAL: 21-30 years, OBC: 21-33 years, S/C S/T: 21-35 years.PWD: 21-40 years.

3.Nationality: Indian.

4.Attempts: General: 4 attempts, OBC: 7 attempts. S/C S/T: No limit.

Thank You,

Age should not be less than 21 years and more than 30 years and relaxation in upper age as per government guidelines that is 5 years for SC/STs and 3 years for OBC category candidates

If you have completed 12th in commerce stream then it's good but not enough to be eligible for IAS examination because minimum educational qualification is graduation that will take your three more year in any discipline but you may also choose 4 year bachelor's degree course as BE or B.Tech

Your age is also not enough so you should wait for three + years and when you complete your graduation then you should apply for this examination and during this period you can prepare well for this examination by knowing more details about this test - papers, examination pattern, syllabus etc. that are properly mentioned in attached official notification so I would like to request you to download this attached notification and receive all updates related to this exam
