    ~~You must be Citizen of India .

    ~~You should have a qualified graduate degree of a recognized University .

    ~~Your age should be between 21 years and 30 years and upper age limits is applicable for this examination .

    ~~Final year candidates are eligible to apply for this examination .

    ~~No percentage bar required for Civil Service Examination .

    Re: How many times can I attempt UPSC exam?

    Dear pal,
    • Aspirants are limited in the number of attempts in the UPSC exam so that they put their full effort in their attempts and this also helps in reducing the number of aspirants appearing every year.
    • Aspirant from any category can apply for the exam from 21 years of age .General category aspirant can make 4 attempts within a age limit of 30.
    • BC, MBC aspirant can make 7 attempts within upper age of 33 whereas physically challenged and Sc and st aspirant can make maximum of 15 within age limit of 35.
    • My advice is not to think of making several attempts . Put effort in the single attempt itself so that you clear and get selected for the job in the first attempt itself. The duration of selection takes more than 3 months.
    • Aspirant is considered to make attempts even if you fail in the aptitude exam itself.

    Re: How many times can I attempt UPSC exam?

    Dear friend,

    All government exams have lilmited no. of attempts.

    UPSC is a governing body which conducts many exams and one of the common and toughest exam is Civil Services Exam,
    which includes IAS, IPS, IFS and has restriction on no. of attempts.

    So here below I am providing you the no of attempts category wise:-

    GENERAL- You have 4 attempts

    OBC- you can give 7 attempts

    SC/ST- No restriction



    See as you can see from above that there are only limited no of attempts
    so you should try to clear the exam in the given attempts as you will not get another chance.

    Use your attempts to get a fruitful result. So you need to work hard with dedication.

    Some other qualifications which is must for giving UPSC exam is:-

    >>> To appear for UPSC exm you all need bachelors degree.

    >>> Final year students are also eligible.

    >>> There is no restriction on stream.

    >>> Your nationality must be Indian.
