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

    UPSC is a commission which conducts many exams in which 'Civil Service Exam(CSE)' is one of them.

    The most popular misnomer of CSE is
    'IAS exam' or 'UPSC exam'.

    The
    minimum qualification for the CSE is Graduation(Degree).

    So you're
    not eligible for the CSE exam.

    **I wish you all SUCCESS!!**
