    Should posses a bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognized university or

    Pursuing Final year of the degree/graduation without any backlogs in previous two years or

    Appearing for final year / semester examination or

    Awaiting for the announcement of the final year or semester result result

    Finally if you are pursuing final year of your graduation then you are eligible to apply for this exam.

    Age Limitations for Civil Services Exams :

    Your age should not be less than 21 years and more than 30 years and relaxation in age as per government guidelines which is 5 years for SC/ST and 3 years for OBC category candidates.

    Other Qualifications and Eligibilities : Candidate must be the citizen of India

    Preparation for Civil Services Exam : There are two ways to prepare for the Civil Services Exams which are :

    1. Coaching Institute Preparation : If you are going to coaching institute to prepare for civil services exams then there is nothing is better option for you than a coaching institute because coaching may help your a lot which nothing may help you and if you are giving at least 6-8 hours for your own study after the coaching classes then it is the best for your preparation and coaching institutes may guide you well than other resources so that you should go to join that study full environment and collect more knowledge.

    2. Self Study / Preparation : If you are not going to any coaching institute and want to prepare yourself then you can prepare and may collect enough knowledge to qualify the preliminary exam only but when the mains exam will come at that time you would not be able to qualify the mains exam so that your self study is not enough for you to pass all the steps and you can not prepare for interview process without any type of guidance and if you want to prepare for yourself then you should prefer these books : Arihant Publication, Upkar Publication, Kalinjar Publication, India Year Book, Disha Experts, The Hindu, Economic Survey etc.

    All the best
