    Sorry friend if you are general candidate then you can not appear for UPSC
    but, if you are reserved category candidate then you are eligible for UPSC
    because for SC/ST 5% of relaxation is provided in marks.
    General candidate requires 50% in Graduation.

    UPSC conducts various competitive exams for the various posts in a year .
    Every exam have their own criteria like some exam requires minimum percentage while others are not .
    For Civil Service Exam following criteria one should fulfill .
    => one should complete the graduation from any recognized university in any stream .
    or
    => A final year student also eligible for the exam .

    => age limit is below :
    21-30 for general cast
    21-33 for obc cast
    21-35 for sc/st cast

    => No of attempts are allowed .
    4 for general cast
    7 for obc cast
    no limit for sc/st cast

    So in CSE exam there are no percentage requirement criteria so that you will eligible .

    But for the other exam like CDS exam there will be minimum 60% is required in graduation so that in that exam you are not eligible .

    So its depends on exam.

    good luck

    Re: My age is 27 yrs. Completed B.A with 45%. Am I eligible for UPSC exams or not?

    the age limit required to apply for the upsc examinations is 21-30 years.

    according to your age
    you are fully eligible to apply for the upsc examinations.

    secondly you are concerned for your percentage .

    as far as upsc examination are concerned
    there is no percentage bar to apply for any of the upsc examination.

    for all the graduation based examination under UPSC
    you need to passing marks in graduation or engineering degree from a recognized university under UGC .

    so can still apply for the upsc examination with even 45 percent in graduation.

    then you can apply as only graduation in any subjects is the requirement for this exam.

    but if you are applying for the Indian Air Force

    while for the civil services examination and the central police forces examination
