Hello

YES YOU CAN APPLY FOR THE IAS .

The educational qualification for applying in the IAS is graduation only from any stream and from any mode of education.The educational qualification require is just graduation.

You want to apply for the IAS after or before Ph.d,then there is no such issues with your qualification,a ph.d is even more qualified than a graduate.
Hence there is no issue regarding the qualification,there is no harm in having something extra,but there should not be anything less than the requirement,and in your case it is so very extra.

But the biggest fact that you should check is the age limit,the age limit for the general candidates for applying in the IAS is 21 to 30 years,you must check your age limit,as this the only factor that can cause any problem with your IAS,when you are thinking of applying for IAS after completing ph.d.

Good luck !

Yes, you can surely become IAS Officer, if you have any degree from recognized university.

You have to give the Civil services exam conducted by UPSC.

To apply these exams,P.hd is not needed, it depends on you whether to apply for the exam after P.hd or before P.hd.

My advice is to apply for the exam right now and start your preparations for the exam before doing your P.hd.

Because, there is one more criteria to give this exam, i.e age, the minimum age required is 21 years and maximum is 30 years.

So, if you apply for the exam after completion of your P.hd degree then you may reach almost 28, this decreases your chances for the exam.

If you belong to any reserved category, then there is age relaxation.

For OBC candidates, the maximum age is 33 years.

For SC/ST Candidates, the maximum age is 35 years.

For PWD/Ex-service men, the maximum age is 40 years.

There is also restriction on the number of attempts for this exam.

For general category, only 4 attempts.

For OBC Category, 7 attempts.

For SC/ST, there is no limitation.

Exam pattern:

Preliminary exam or CSAT

Mains

Interview.

Next UPSC Civil services Preliminary exam is on 19-05-2013.

Date of Notification: 02-02-2013.

Last date for receipt of application: 04-03-2013.
