    first,

    i tell you that only those candidates are eligible for upsc examination who have completed their graduation with a ugc recognized university and must be the citizen of india.

    Now let us talk about the age limit and the no. Of attempts:


    1. For general:- 21-30 years. (4 attempts)

    2. For obc :- 21-33 years. (7 attempts)

    3. For sc/st:- 21-35 years. (no any restriction.)

    that means you are allowed to give the exam as many time as you want at the age of 35 years ,there is no any restriction for you .

    The number of times that one can give the civil service exam is below :
    4 for general cast
    7 for obc cast
    no limit for the sc/st cast

    So as you are belong to sc cast so that you can give the exam number of time , there are no limit for you , you can give the exam till you fulfill the age criteria for the exam .
    The age limit for the CSE exam is below :
    21-30 for general cast
    21-33 for obc cast
    21-35 for sc/st cast

    so till you become 35 you are eligible for giving the exam .
    But for that you have to complete your graduation in any stream from any recognized university .

    So start the preparation for the exam and give it and pass it .

    good luck

    Hi...friend

    You can exactly better opportunities than general candidates

    So make use of wonderful oppertunity

    You can give uspc exam with unlimited

    Coming to general students give only 4 attemps

    So in this you can easily put up your effort to crack the exam

    You can have age relaxation upto 35 years of you age

    One more thing is to say you would have a graduation in any stream
