    No my friend , you are not eligible for the exam so that you can not give the exam because your age is below the criteria that is required .
    The criteria for the UPSC exam is below :

    -> -> one should done their graduation from any recognized university

    -> A final year student can also eligible for applying the exam .


    -> age limit is 21-30 for general cast , 3 years relaxion for obc , 5 years relaxion for sc/st/ex-serviceman , 10 years relaxion for physically handicapped .


    -> maximum 4 attempts are allowed for the general cast , 7 for obc cast and no limit for the no of attempts for the sc/st cast .

    So as per your info your current age is 19 , so that according to above criteria , the minimum require age is 21 so that you have to wait still 2 years for giving the exam .

    After that you will give the exam but you should fulfill the other criteria also .

    But this 2 year you should prepare for the exam because UPSC exam is very tough and one have to do lots of preparation for passing the exam so that you should start the preparation now so that at the time of exam you will fully prepare .

    Good Luck

    Hi Friend!

    As for now, you're not allowed to write the Graduation exams because you're 19 years old.

    The minimum age required to write those exams is 21yrs.

    But you can write the exams like

    1) National Defense Academy

    2) Special Class Railway Apprentice.

    For more details :

    I WISH YOU ALL SUCCESS!

    Hi Aspirant

    Well the age limits for the different upsc exams are different

    And for some exams you are eligible and for some you are not eligible

    Like you are not eligible for the civil services exam

    Because for the exam the minimum age is 21

    But you are eligible for the exams

    Like Ima for which the age limit is 19-24

    And for the ota 19-25

    And for the nda exam is 16.5-19

    Best of luck

    Hi Aspirant,

    Sorry friend you can not apply for UPSC Civil Service exam in this age.

    You are under age for Civil Service Exam.

    Age limit for Civil service exam is 21 to 30 years.

    So you will have to wait for 2 years for Civil exam.


    But in this age you can apply for CDS exam conducted by UPSC for Defense Services.

    Age limit for CDS exam is 19 to 24 years.

    You must have graduate degree in any stream from recognized university or its equivalent.

    You must be Indian citizen.


    Best of Luck�
