They have to clear all the preliminary, main exam, interview as well as physical & medical criteria for U.P.S.C.
So, there is no additional benefit for you.

Dear Candidate,
There is no benefit like that for an IIT student.UPSC Examination centre treats every candidate the same.
The qualification for UPSC exam is graduation in any degree there is no specific IIT degree.There is also an age qualification.you must be 21-30 yrs old.

Dear Friend

There in no such provisions that IIT students will get any previlege or benefit over general candidate.


According to rules and regulations of UPSC ,all candidates are treated equally except OBC and SC/ST who get relaxation in age and no of attempts.


For obc: 21-33 years

For sc/st: 21-35 years.

In case of no of attempts ,General:4

OBC:7

SC/ST:no limit.

SO,dear friend,if you belong to either obc or sc/st ,you will get these types of relaxation and benefits over general students otherwise there is no such benefits.


The advantage for you will that you will have an edge over any students as you are from IIT. As well known you will have sharp brain better understanding cappacity in comparison to other students.


Hope the information helps you.

all the best
