    yes, an IT engineer apply for IAS,IPS & IES

    Essential requirements for the all are

    1.university graduate from recognised university.
    2.Indian nationality is must.
    3.age should be within 21-30 years relaxed by 3,5 years for obc,sc/st categories resp.

    but

    for IES you have to choose among Electrical Engineering,MEchanical engineering,civil & electronics engineering. as your examination subjeect. while for IAS,IPS you have to choose two mains electives out of 25 listed subjects by UPSC.

    there is fixed attempt by 4 & 7 for general & obc aspirants while IES is free from such restriction.

    You can apply for upsc exams.However it depends on the requirements of job itself.

    However, you cannot apply for IES,MES and some other fields where b.tech (IT) engineers are not required.

    Means you are eligible for entrance where there is not mentioned that only mechanical,civil etc are eligible.

    you are eligible for exam like Indian civil services

    regarding time required for perparation for upsc you will have to spend 10-11 hours of daily study for 1year

    Dear Aspirant,
    -Being an IT Engineer,you can definitely appear for the CIVIL SERVICE EXAMS conducted for the posts of IAS,IPS,etc but you are not applicable to apply for the INDIAN ENGINEERING SERVICE(IES) exams though,as your subject does not features among the list of allowed subjects.
    :: THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR THE CIVIL SERVICE EXAMS ::
    # You must hold a citizenship to India.
    # You must be 21 to 30 years of age.The upper age limit is however relaxable by 5 years for SC/ST and by 3 years for the OBC candidates.
    # You must be a graduate,or equivalent from any stream,or be a final year student from a recognized university.
    # Number of attempts allowed for a General Category is FOUR.It is raised to 7 for OBC candidates and unlimited for SC/ST candidates.

    ::THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR THE IES EXAMS ::
    # You must hold a citizenship to India.
    # You must be 21 to 30 years of age.The upper age limit is relaxable by 5 years for SC/ST and by 3 years for the OBC candidates.
    # YOU MUST HOLD A DEGREE IN ANY OF THE FOUR FOLLOWING SUBJECTS FROM A RECOGNIZED UNIVERSITY:
    MECHANICAL ENGINEERING,CIVIL ENGINEERING,ELECTRONICS AND TELECOMMUNICATION ENGINEERING & ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.
    # The number of attempts are not restricted.

    Hence,clearly,you do not meet the educational requirements of IES exams.THEREFORE,you can apply for the Civil Service exams only.
    ~EIGHT MONTHS OF RIGOROUS HARD WORK AND COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SUBJECTS YOU ELECT WOULD FETCH YOU SUCCESSFUL RESULTS.
    ~Also improve your writing skills.
    ~Solve a lot of model papers.
    ~Use time well and maintain a positive attitude.
    BEST OF LUCK.

    Dear Aspirant

    yes my dear friend you can apply for the exam

    As to write the upsc exam you just need to be pass in graduation

    From a recognized indain university it does not matter from which field

    You have passed graduation means whether it is in commerce or science

    Age limit for the upsc exam is 21-30 and relaxation for ph and sc.st and obc of 10 ans 5 and 3 year

    And as you said you have completed b.tech in it and can you go for IAS and IPS Exam

    And the answer is simply yes you can go for the exam

    Best of luck
