    Yes absolutely - you should know that all graduates are eligible to apply for UPSC exams and there is no bar or restriction for current employees or professionals means you can apply for all UPSC exams if you contains enough eligibility criteria for that particular exam according to the UPSC standards and rules.

    UPSC conduct so many exams as : NDA, SCRA, IAS, IFS, IPS, IES, CDS, CMS, Geography Test etc. so the eligibility criteria is also different for each and every exam but mostly you should have following qualifications to apply for UPSC exams :

    A degree or it's equivalent qualification from a recognized university with at least 50% marks and those who are appearing exams of final year or pursuing final year of the degree may also apply for these exams

    Candidate's age should not be less than 21 years and more than 30 years and reserved category candidates get reservation/relaxation in upper age as per government guidelines which is - 5 years for SC/ST and Ex-Servicemen, 3 years for OBC and 10 years for PWD Category candidates

    This eligibility is mostly required for - CDS, IAS, IPS, IFS etc. but the age criteria is follows same for every exam excluding to SCRA and NDA because NDA requires 16.5-19 years and SCRA requires 17-21 years.
