    Dear

    i want to say that upsc require the graduate candidate in any stream from the recognized university/approved by the ugc/aicet.

    the percentage of marks does not matter for the entrance exam.

    candidate age limit between the 21 to 30 years for the unreserved category. reserve category got the relaxation from the upsc.

    above the higher qualification of the graduation is beneficial for you.

    best of luck for the future.

    dear friend,

    for UPSC you need only graduation from recognized college or university in any field.

    and your age must be within 21 years to 30 years.

    And there is relaxation in UPPER AGE limit for reserved category candidates(3 years for OBC and 5 years for SC/ST candidates).



    as you have completed B.DES and if your age is within the limit defined, then you are definitely eligible for UPSC exams.


    Good Luck......
