    Dear Friend,

    To become IFS officer you give civil services examination. For that examination you must be graduate from any recognized university.

    It does not matter that in which field you are completing your graduation.

    For civil services examination no need of percentage , if you just have passing marks in your graduation then you are eligible.

    Age must be under 21-30 years.

    3 years age relaxation for BC candidate and 5 years age relaxation for SC/ST candidate.

    For More Details : http://www.upsc.gov.in

    Good Luck
