    Hey,by IFS dou you mean Indian Foreign Service or Indian Forest Service.If it's the former,then I guess you are eligible as you are a graduate now and possibly agd between 21-30yrs but if it's the latter,then the chances are marginal.Still for more details,please visit the website http://upsc.gov.in.Good Luck!

    Re: Can a person from commerce background appear for IFS exam?

    Dear candidate,
    If your point of reference,through the IFS is the Indian Forest Services,then you are not eligible to apply for it.The degrees required for this examinations are very specific and a commerce student is not eligible to appear for this.

    However,if you were talking about the INDIAN FOREIGN SERVICES,then any graduate student is eligible to apply and so are you.You can get into this post through the Civil Service exam conducted by the UPSC,and you may even choose a commerce subject as an optional subject in the MAINS.

    WISH YOU LUCK.
