    Re: Can IT students sit for UPSC examination?

    of course why not an IT student can apply for UPSC examination. If you are Graduate i.e. B.Sc. IT then you can appear in IAS/IPS examination. And If you are B.Tech. in IT then you can apply for IES examination i.e. engineering services examination.

    The eligibility criteria for appearing in UPSC exam is Graduation in any stream from a recognized university.

    The Age limit for UPSC exam is 21 to 30 years on 1 August of Exam Year i.e. If you are appearing in 2012 UPSC exam then your age should between 2 August 1982 to 1 August 1991.

    Of Course Dear, IT students are eligible for UPSC examination but, they must be Graduate and not Diploma Holders. And they are eligible for UPSC as same as other Graduates. But, there is no Optional Subject included as IT. So, you have to choose other subjects such as Computer Science, Maths, Physics, etc. So, take care about it. Good Luck...

    Hi Friend!

    First, you need to know what is UPSC.

    UPSC is Union Public Service Commission which conducts many exams in which Civil Service Exam(CSE).

    CSE has a misnomer as 'IAS exam' or 'UPSC exam'.

    The answer to your question is definitely YES.


    Even the IT comes under the graduation.

    So you're definitely eligible for the exams. But there no subjects related to IT or Computer Science in the whole UPSC.

    You can have all the details about the CSE at http://www.upsc.gov.in/

    I WISH YOU ALL SUCCESS!!

    Re: Can IT students sit for UPSC examination?

    why not??

    Definitely an it student can sit in the civil services
    examination and
    become an ias/ips .............
    it is only a misunderstanding that it stunt ant take part in the civil services examination .

    All the graduates are eligible for the same and can sit in the examination.

    But yes there a problem for it /computer students that there is no any computer related subject.

    If you are an it student than you have to take any other subject as your optional subjects.

    But first you have to check the criteria required to be fulfilled by you to be eligible for the examination.



    Eligibility criteria:-

    * the candidate must be the citizen of india.
    * the candidate must be a graduate from a govt recognized
    university


    age criteria:-

    for general:-21-30 years.
    For obc :-21-33 years.
    For sc/st :-21-35 years.


    if you fulfill the criteria mentioned above than definitely you are eligible:
