Hello,

You are perfectly eligible for IAS/IES if you have completed or you are in the final semester of your engineering. But be ready for a question about it in interview, if you take more than 4 years to complete engineering.

Hi,

Though you were detained in the 5th semester of your graduation,this fact will not stop you from appearing for the IAS/IES exams.
But you need to make sure that you complete your graduation before sitting in the exam.
Also make sure that you fulfill the eligibility criteria!

Best of Luck for the future!

Age should be between 21-30 years and relaxation in upper age as per government guidelines which is 5 years for SC/ST and 3 years for OBC category candidates

You are pursuing third year of your degree and got a backlog in your 5h semester examinations and engineering degree is complete 4 years full time regular mode degree so that dear you can apply for IAS exam after qualifying your 6th semester exams because final year candidates are eligible so that you would have to come in final year then apply for IAS exam and there is no problem about your backlog because you have not completed your degree but if you qualify the prelims exam of IAS then you would be allowed to apply for mains exam and before applying for mains exam you would have to complete your bachelor's degree without any backlogs by hook or by crook then you would be eligible to appear for mains exam and if you could not completed your graduation then you would be disqualified

So dear prepare hard for your exam and complete your bachelor's degree before applying for exams and try to make higher percentage marks in your graduation to get other assistance.
