    Dear Aspirant,
    ~You can definitely appear for the Civil Service Examinations after completing your Engineering in Computer Science,as it is equivalent to Graduation.
    ~You must also fulfill the full eligibility criteria for this exams.
    ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA ::
    * You must be a citizen of India,
    or, You must be a subject of Nepal or Bhutan,
    or You must be a Tibetan refugee settled permanently in India before 1962.
    * You must be of 21 to 30 years of age. HOWEVER,there is a relaxation in the upper age limit,of 3 years for the OBCs and 5 years for the SC/STs.

    ~~Improve upon your Grammatical mistakes.
    ~~Practice a lot of model papers and previous paper question papers.
    ~~As computer does not feature among the list of optional subjects,prefer the ARTS subjects for your Mains exams as these are highly scoring and even asked about in the prelIminary exams.

    You should divide your preparation time between GS Paper 1 and 2 as optional subjects have been eliminated from the IAS preliminary exam.I just referred one good newspaper and two magazines for current affairs .Referred the past 5 years solved question papers before and after reading a topic.

    YES,you can appear if your age lies between 21-30 years upper age relaxed for SC/ST &OBC BY 5 &3 years resp.& graduation from a recognised university is must.

    I will suggest you if have sound knowledge of engineering field then opt. technical subject as your two electives for the mains which can be 1.MATHS, 2.PHYSICS it will be easy for you while writing for the mains as it of subjective paper.

    while
    for prelims you can study according to prelim's syllabus which is as follows for general ability paper

    • Current events of national and international importance.
    • History of India and Indian National Movement.
    • Indian and World Geography - Physical, Social, Economic Geography of
      India and the World.
    • Indian Polity and Governance - Constitution, Political System,
      Panchayati Raj, Public Policy, Rights Issues, etc.
    • Economic and Social Development -Sustainable Development, Poverty,
      Inclusion, Demographics, Social Sector initiatives, etc.
    • General issues on Environmental Ecology, Bio-diversity and Climate
      Change - that do not require subject specialisation

      you can refer NCERT BOOKS of class 4-12th level for g.k,some high school grammer books for paper-II ,read natianal newspaper for the current affairs it is enough for you to succed in exam

    ****Hi Friend!!****

    The answer to your question is, perhaps, NO.

    because the computer science isn't a subject in the list of 22 optional subjects.

    So you need to select two subjects from the list.

    Agriculture Mathematics
    Animal Husbandry & Vetinary Science
    Mechanical Engineering

    Botany
    Medical Science

    Chemistry
    Philosophy

    Civil Engineering
    Physics

    Commerce
    Political Science

    Economics
    Psychology

    Electrical Engineering
    Public Administration

    Geography
    Sociology

    Geology
    Statistics

    Indian History
    Zoology

    Law

    I wish you all SUCCESS!!

    Re: Can I appear in UPSC exam being a computer science engineering graduate? Give some tips for USPC exam preparation.

    dear aspirant to apply for the upsc exam you need to be graduated or holder of bachelors degree in any stream from a recognized university.

    upsc does not have anything to do with your stream,
    you just need to have completed engineering from a UGC approved university,

    so as far as eligibility is concerned ,
    your stream of engineering will not affect the eligibility.

    so deAR FRIEND as you mentioned that you are a computer engineer so you are eligible for the upsc exam,
    therefore you can apply for the upsc exam,

    you can apply for the upsc exams at www.upsconline.nic.in

    good luck
