    The eligibility criteria for appearing in UPSC exam is Graduation in any stream from a recognized university. I think CA certificate is not equivalent to Graduation degree. Then first of all you have to complete your graduation and then you can apply for upsc examination.

    Yes chartered accountants are eligible to write UPSC Civil Services Exam ; but you should have your degree from a recognized college.
    And there is a constraint on age too, that is you should be in the age limit of 21-30 years ( which is relaxed for the reserved categories).

    Re: Are chartered accountants eligible to write UPSC Civil Service exams?

    Yes sir ,

    you are eligible to apply

    because the minimum qualification required for upsc is graduation and the c.a. Is also an equivalent degree to graduation (b.a.).

    But only qualification is not sufficient for the exam because tere is an age criteria also

    for obc-21-33 years.

    For sc/st- 21-35 years.

    For general-21-30 years.
