    Re: I scored only 61% in 12th class. Can I apply for Civil Services Exam?

    hi

    **the minimum educational qualification for applying "civil service exam is graduation or degree level in any field

    -the age must be in between 21-30 years

    -citizen of india

    -civil service exam is for both men and women

    -candidate must be medically fine in all aspects.

    **candidate make sure that he/she would satisfy the eligibility criteria otherwise if any found wrong content will be disqualified.


    to clear civil service exam,the candidate had attempt the preliminary exam.after qualifying in this,then are allowed to face the civil service main exam.

    so one has to be in touch with current affairs,good in general knowledge and English vocabulary.

    without hard work or effort,you cannot reach your goal..so have proper planning and follow it.



    good luck

    thank you

    Re: I scored only 61% in 12th class. Can I apply for Civil Services Exam?

    Yes you can apply for Civil Services Exam. The minimum educational qualification for civil services exam is graduation in any stream. One need not to have any minimum percentage in class 10, 12 or graduation. Also these percentage does not matter in the selection process. So if you have completed your bachelor degree from a govt. recognized institute and you fulfill the criteria regarding age and citizenship, you can apply for the exam. Regarding your qualification you have the same chance to crack the exam like any candidate appearing this exam.

    Re: I scored only 61% in 12th class. Can I apply for Civil Services Exam?

    Hello

    You need to know properly the terms and conditions,and the criteria for applying in the civil services.
    ~First of all in the civil services,the minimum qualification required is graduation and not 10+2,means you can not apply for any civil services exam without completing your graduation.
    ~secondly,in no civil services exams you have the percentage bar,in any civil services exams the percentage required is zero,means you just need to pass the graduation.

    So your question becomes invalid completely.
    Now the civil services are
    ~IES(INDIAN ENGINEERING SERVICES)
    ~IPS
    ~IFS
    ~IAS
    ~IES(INDIAN ECONOMIC SERVICES)

    And in no services mentioned above,have any percentage bar and you can not apply till you have a graduation degree.
    So your 10+2 with 61% does not fit in point ,for applying in the civil services you will have to complete your graduation in any stream in any discipline and then you are applicable for any civil services.

    24 services/posts.
    After clearing CSE you will get posts like IAS,IPS,IFS,IRS,etc based on your rank in the
    Final Merit list.
    It is conducted in 3 stages viz.
