    Eligibility for Indian Forest Service Examination 2013 - 14

    Candidate should posses a degree in any one of the - Agriculture/ Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science/ Botany/ Chemistry/ Engineering/ Forestry/ Geology/ Mathematics/ Physics/ Statistics/ Zoology from a recognized university and final year pursuing candidates are also eligible to apply

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

    If you have completed BCA - Bachelor's of Computer Application then we are really sorry to say that you can not apply for this examination because your specialization subject does not meet with the requirements of this examination so you should prepare for any other examination which gives you equal rank as IFoS Officer

    You can apply for Indian Civil Service Examination on the basis of your bachelor's degree and can become IAS Officer in India for civil service. This examination conducted every year in two sections - Preliminary and Main examination and once you qualify both of these exams good marks and crack personality test then you will be posted as IAS Officer in India according to your rank

    This year's civil service preliminary examination has conducted at 26th of May 2013 and main is going to be held from 1st of December 2013 so you can think about to prepare for next year ICS examination and get prepared well before the announcement of the notification and dates for this test because you will have about 10 months to prepare and if you join any good coaching institute then you can get full assistance from their side in preparation but you should also be attentive towards your preparation and goal then it will be easy to achieve it soon

    I have attached official recruitment notification for UPSC IAS and IFoS Officer examination so please download and get more details

    All the best
