    You can fill the form of IAS/IPS i.e. Indian Administrative Services and Indian Police Services of upsc. The minimum educational qualification is graduation in any stream for applying in this exam. Also if you are general category candidate then you have between the age of 21 to 30 years.

    You have to face upsc prelim exam in which you have been asked for objective type questions which is coming from general studies. In upsc mains exam you have to select the subjects. For subjects click here.

    yes being a physiotherapist you are eligible for upsc exam if your age is between 21-30 years if you belong to general category,12-33 years if you are a obc candidate ,21-35 years if you belong to sc/st category. also you must have completed your graduation from a recognized university under ugc.
    there many exam under upsc for which you can apply like cds,civil services,ifs,irs etc.
    but in my opinion you should apply for civil services .
    as you have done masters in physiotherapy you can select subjects in which you think you have a good command .your qualification will surely help you in the examination.

    dear aspirant,


    CMS stands for Combined Medical Services. The exam is

    conducted by UPSC.

    coming on your question, sorry to say that you can't apply for

    CMS exam. because in CMS exam only MBBS candidates can apply.

    Eligibility Criteria for CMS:

    candidates must have completed the written and practical part of

    MBBS.

    Age Limit: you must not have attained the age of 32 on 1 January

    of the year of exam. Age is relaxable upto 3 years for OBC and 5

    years for SC/St candidates.


    if you want you can apply for UPSC Civil Services Exam which is

    conducted by UPSC for the posts of IAS, IPS, IRS etc.

    Eligibility Criteria For Civil Services:


    graduation from recognized college or university


    AGE LIMIT:


    General Category: 21 to 30 years

    OBC Category: 21 to 33 years


    SC/ST Category: 21 to 35 years


    you must have attained the lower age limit on 1 August of the

    year of exam and you should not have attained the upper age limit

    on similar date.
