    Dear aspirant,
    You are surely eligible for the Civil Service exams but sorry,as there is no subject as BDS in the list of optional subjects of these exam.You will have to opt for some other subject.

    The eligibility criteria for these exams lies as below :
    -YOU MUST BE A CITIZEN OF INDIA,
    OR,A SUBJECT OF NEPAL OR BHUTAN,
    OR,A TIBETAN REFUGEE SETTLED IN INDIA BEFORE INDEPENDENCE.
    -YOU MUST BE BETWEEN 21-30 YEARS OF AGE,IF OF GENERAL CATEGORY.
    THE UPPER LIMIT IS RELAXABLE BY 5 YEARS FOR SC/STs AND 3YEARS FOR OBCs.
    -YOU MUST HOLD A DEGREE OF GRADUATION OR EQUIVALENT,FROM AN UGC RECOGNIZED UNIVERSITY OR BE A FINAL YEAR STUDENT IN THE SAME.

    So you can apply in your final year or after completion of course but with different subject combinations.
    Good Luck.
