    ******Hi Friend!!******

    I really do appreciate your dream of becoming IAS officer!

    To become an IAS officer, you need to go through Civil Service Exam(CSE), the most popular misnomer 'IAS exam' or 'UPSC exam'.

    There are two phases in CSE.

    They are

    1)Civil Service Aptitude Test(CSAT) or Preliminary Exam

    2) Civil Service Main Exam

    Note: You must know that those who've qualified CSAT are only eligible for the Civil Service Main Exam.

    Qualification for OBC category:

    Educational: Graduate

    Age: 21-33yrs

    Note: there is a considerable age relaxation for special category like Blind, Deaf-Mute, etc.

    Number of attempts
    : 7

    ********************I wish you all SUCCESS!!!****************

    Hello

    You will not get any relaxation in the number of attempts for the IAS exam as you have done engineering,but will surely get some for being in the OBC(Other Backward Classes) category.

    The general category have attempts for the IAS,but the OBC category have 7 attempts for the IAS and even for the IPS and IFS.

    For more details visit the website of the UPSC.
