    Re: Can a computer science engineer give UPSC exam? If yes then which subjects to choose for it?

    Hello

    YOU ARE VERY MUCH APPLICABLE FOR UPSC EXAMS.
    There are various UPSC exams like
    ~IFS
    ~IAS
    ~IPS
    ~IES
    ~IES

    Now as a computer graduate you can apply for IAS,IPS,IFS and there are few UPSC exams also like PCS(police central services),you can apply for those,as they only have the qualification required as graduation,and that too from any stream.

    You can apply for IAS,IPS,IFS,PCS only if you have a graduation degree in any stream from any recognized university,so you are applicable here,even you do not need to have any minimum percentage to show ,only the graduation is enough.

    Now,it is really sad that there are hardly any subjects which is related to computer science and engineering in the list of the optional subjects that UPSC mostly offers',so it will be difficult for you to start as you just can not find any subjects similar to your syllabus,for more information visit the official website of UPSC

    Re: Can a computer science engineer give UPSC exam? If yes then which subjects to choose for it?

    Dear Aspirant,

    Yes even a computer student can write the upsc exam.

    He is eligible for writing the exam only if he/she had graduated from a recognized university or college.

    More over the percentage is not a criteria in this exam.Any student who has just got minimum marks in the Graduation can attend for this exam.

    So it is wide open for all the categories.Only thing is you need to be passed in the graduation and hold a certificate from it.

    Optional subjects for the Engineering Students:

    PHYSICS

    MATHS

    CHEMISTRY

    STATISTICS

    CIVIL ENGINEERING

    MECHANICAL ENGINEERING


    The top mentioned subjects are related to the graduate student from the science background.So a CSE students doesnt have any special optional subjects.

    These are only the related subjects for the students of Cse.


    AGE/Caste Cutoff:

    For general - 21 to 30 year
    For obc - 21 to 33 year
    For sc/st - 21 to 35 year


    Hope this info helps you.

    Any more Queries.
    Don't Hesitate to ask me. Am happy to help you always. Just ping to my profile.

    Best Regards,
    Sampath.
