    Yes , every final year student are eligible for the IAS exam so you will be allowed to give the exam .

    But you have to fulfill the other criteria related to age , education like

    => Your age should be between 21-30 for general cast , 3 years upper age relaxation for obc cast and 5 years upper age relaxation for sc/st cast .

    => you have to complete your graduation before the main exam otherwise you will be disqualified .

    => There are only 4 attempts are allowed for the general cast , 7 for obc cast and no limit for the sc/st cast .

    So if you fulfill the above criteria then you are eligible for giving the exam .

    So if you are eligible then start the preparation for the exam now and give it .
