    Re: I finally completed my degree in 7 years. Am I eligible for Civils?

    Hello,

    Yes, you can apply for civil services if you meet other eligibility criteria. But considering the fact that you completed your degree in 7 yrs, do you feel yourself a right candidate for this exam.

    I do not want to act as a dampener but let me introduce you to the rigors of this examination.

    You will need to study atleast 12 hrs daily for more than 10 months without a break to clear this exam. You need to have the ability to mug facts and apply your mind to understand the underlying concepts as well. Keeping in mind the fact that you could do your graduation in 7 yrs for which the max allowed minimum duration should be 5 yrs (in case of medicine) and the fact that graduation is considered to be easy and cool duration of one's academics, will you be able to withstand the rigors of IAS exam.

    If you want to give civils just for sake of giving it, you can go ahead, but if you are serious, then I would really want you to guage your capabilities before jumping into it. Because, in your case, the odds favouring you is very meagre.

    Hope you will take a good decision.

    Thanks,
    goyalk

    Re: I finally completed my degree in 7 years. Am I eligible for Civils?

    Hi,

    Yes you are eligible for UPSC Civil Service Examination.

    There is no such provision regarding the time taken to complete the degree course.

    It doesn't matter that you have completed your degree in 3 years or 7 years.

    All that is needed that you must have a degree from a recognized university.

    But you also have to fulfill the other criteria regarding the age limit.

    The age limit for appearing in civil service examination is 21-30 years as on the 1st august of the year.

    However there are relaxation on the upper age limit for the certain category candidates viz. sc/st/obc/pwd.


    I hope the above information will help you a lot.


    Thank you.
