    Dear,
    The essential qualification for the UPSC examination is to pass the Bachelors degree in any stream at any recognized University. So as you have already passed the Bachelors degree and if it is in recognized university, then you can surely appear for the examination. The age limit for the examination is within 21-30 years and the upper age limit is for OBC candidates are 3years and for SC/ST, it is 5years. Your master degree may be evaluated as higher qualification, but has no privileges on selection. Best of Luck

    age limit for the civil service exam:-

    The age limit is for general category is 21 to 30 years. And attempt the exam 4 times.

    The age limit is for obc category is 21 to 33 years (3 years relaxation). Attempt the exam 7 times.

    Age limit for SC/ST category is 21 to 35 years and attempt chance till overage. Means unlimited

    Age limit for CDS exam:-

    Indian Maltery Accedmay age limit is: 19 to 24 Years

    For Officer Training Academy age limit: 19 to 25 years

    Naval age limit: 19 to 22 years
