    dear friend,

    Sorry to say that you can't give the UPSC exams at the age of 20 years. because for UPSC exams you must reach the age of 21 years on 1 August of the year of exam.
    but don't waste this time you can start preparation for UPSC exams.


    Good Luck.......

    Yes you can apply for SCRA exam means Special Class Railway Apprentice examination by this you can get the railway job. But if you want to appear in ias/ips examination then you have to wait till you will be 21 years at the month of August of exam year. Means a candidate can apply for upsc exam at the age of 21 to 30 years at the month of August of exam year. If you want to give the exam in 2013 then you should be 21 to 30 years at the month of August 2013.

    Till then you can do preparation for the examination. If you will prepare full the you can crack the exam in first attempt.

    Hi friend,


    Well, first of all UPSC is name of a commission not exam.

    Well, in your case you mean about Civil services.

    Well, mine friend there's no way out, you cant appear for the examination at any cost.

    Since eligiblity criteria doent permit such.

    So, pretty bad Luck for you and yes hold your nerves

    Hope it helps!!
