    >> You have not enough educational qualification so that you can not apply for this exam but after your 12th class you should join any degree course of at least 3 years in full time mode and complete that without any backlogs in any semester then you may apply for this exam.

    >> After completing your 12th class and joining any degree course you should go to find out the best coaching institutes to prepare for IAS exam or civil services in your area

    >> You should take some demo classes of at least 4-5 coaching institutes and then analyze that which one is best for you to and which may take you to the goal

    >> Most of the coaching institutes provides only about 6 hours for a batch in IAS coaching institutes so that 6 hours are not enough to prepare for your IAS exam means you should also give some time for your study.

    >> You should also give at least 6-8 hours for your study and read everything concentratively and give up all those things which does not support you in your study

    >> Visit at the official website of the UPSC board - www.upsc.gov.in and find out the revised and fresh syllabus of the exam for which you are preparing and prepare for that exam.

    * No, it is not possible for a 12th class student to appear for IAS exam..!

    * For the UPSC civil services exam, there are some eligible criterias to be fulfilled� here are they�

    * You must be a citizen of India�.!

    * You must be a graduate or final year student going to complete graduation

    * You must satisfy age requirements of 21 to 30 years of age�!

    * Any number of attempts is allowed for SC and ST students

    * Upto 7 attempts for OBC and only 4 attempts for Open category..!

    * But it is the right time for you to prepare for achieving your dream of IAS

    * You have to work hard to prepare for IAS exam...!

    * For aptitude you can prepare from RS Aggarwal Quantitative aptitude book....!!

    * For General studies and current affair , you have to go through daily newspapers..

    * Read magazines like Yojana, CSR, Wisdom, Frontline, Civil services chronicle, etc and update yourself with the current affairs...!

    * Practice and solve the previous year question papers ...!

    * You can even refer NCERT textbooks of 10th and 12th grades for topics of Indian history, Geography, Politics and Economy

    * So, finally I say that you cannot appear now since you will be less than 21 and not a graduate too..!

    * As the requisities are not fulfilled you are presently ineligible to appear for IAS exam�!

    * But do not postpone to start your preparation as it is the right time�.!!!

    Graduation is that the minimum instructional qualification for IAS examination and you simply finishing twelfth category thus expensive you're not eligible without delay.
    when three year after you can showing the ultimate year of your graduation examination or complete your graduation then you're eligible.
    Eligibility Criteria is
    ought to be graduate from a recognized university in any stream
    (marks or share does not matter)
    age ought to be twenty one to thirty years
    age relaxation for OBC candidate three years
    age relaxation for SC/ST candidate five years
    nationality- Indian
    No. of tries
    General have four try
    OBC have 7
    SC/ST haven't any limit

    A baccalaureate in any discipline from a recognized university and final year following candidates also are allowed means that if you with success pass your two years of degree and comes in final year thus you're eligible to use for this examination.

    Age of the candidate mustn't be but twenty one years and quite thirty years and relaxation in age as per government tips that is five years for SC/ST class candidates and three years for OBC class.
    You have not enough instructional qualification in order that you'll be able to not apply for this examination however when your twelfth category you must be part of any degree course of a minimum of three years fully time mode and complete that with none backlogs in any semester then you'll apply for this examination.


    After finishing your twelfth category and connection any degree course you must move to decide the most effective work institutes to arrange for IAS examination or civil services in your space

    You should take some demo categories of a minimum of 4-5 work institutes and so analyze that that one is best for you to and which can take you to the goal
    While paying the fee for work you must pay the fee in installments means that don't pay the whole fee right away in money or the other mode
    To make your doubts clear and to be told one thing new you must call for your work once more and once more and if the school satisfy you in study then you must be part of.

    Re: Can a 12th class student become an IAS officer?

    Dear Aspirant

    12th class student cannot become an IAS officer.This is not the minimum educational qualifications set by the commission in order to select a candidates.They have set many standards.Some of them are
    You need to passed your graduation from a recognised university in any streams
    You have to be minimum of 21 years of age before you apply for the examination

    Even the question paper set in the examination is not of higher secondary level in main examination.You should have atleast the knowledge of bachelors level in order to write the examination.So my advice is that if you are in 12th then focus on your board examination in order to get good marks.If you have 12th passed then take a admission in good college and after two years start seriously preparing for civil service examination.

    thank you..
    IAS means Indian Administrative services, it is the Prestigious cadre in India.

    12th class passed candidates cannot become IAS Officers.

    To become IAS Officer, one should have a degree and should give the civil services exam conducted by UPSC.

    It is considered as one of the toughest exam in our country and the competition is also very high.

    Proper guidance and preparation is required to achieve this.

    firstly as you are 12th passed candidate only, complete your degree first and then take a proper coaching from good institute and then give these exams.

    Required eligibility conditions for civil services exams are as follows:

    Candidate must have any degree from recognized University.

    Candidate must have minimum 21 years and maximum 30 years for general category.

    Upper age relaxation for reserved category candidates is as follows:

    3 years for OBC.

    5 years for SC/ST

    10 years for PWD & Exservice-men.

    Exam Pattern:

    Prelims

    Mains

    Interview

    By the time, you give this exam, there may be some changes in the exam pattern so prepare according to the changed patterns.

    Of course there will be an age relaxation for the reserved candidates


    YOU BETTER TO COMPLETE THE GRADUATION first ..
