    Re: Can I apply for both IAS and IES at the same time?

    Dear Friend

    yes,you are eligible for the both IAS and IES examinations at the same time but the eligibility criteria for both the examinations are different and you need to satisfy for both the criteria:

    IES stands for Indian Engineeirng services examination



    It is organised by UPSC (union public service commission).


    Eligibility criteria:

    B.Tech/B.E in civil ,mechanical ,electrical and electronics and telecommunication engineeirng is required for this examination from a recognised universitY and the course must be affiliated by AICTE.

    Final year b.tech candidates may apply for this examination.

    Paper pattern of IES students:




    IAS stands for Indian Administrative services.

    >>It is also conducted by UPSC.




    It requires graduation in any stream from a recognised university.Final year graduation students are also eligible.

    Paper pattern for IAS:



    The age criteria and attempts as per category for both the examinations are same :

    21-30 for general students and four attempts.

    21-33 years for obc and seven attempts.

    21-35 years for sc/st and no limit of attempts.


    NOTE:If you are eligible for IES examination then you are eligible for IAS examinations also but the vive versa doesnot exists.

    Official website for information of both examinations is www.upsc.gov.in

    all the best

    Hi friend,



    Well mine friend, you see yes you are eligible for both of the examinations at one time.

    UPSC engineering examinations is termed IES examination and UPSC IAS examination is termed Civil services examinations.

    UPSC stands for Union Public service commission and it conducts various examinations like :

    >> IAS

    >> IES

    >> IFS,etc

    But check that you are examination dates of both examinations doesnot cross each other.

    Best of Luck!!

    Hope it helps!!
