    Dear friend,

    Yes why not. You are fully eligible for the exam.

    IES stands for Indian engineering services.

    The exam is conducted by UPSC once every year.

    See you are eligible to appear for the exam you belong to any one of the category as you fulfill the age required criteria.

    Basically the age limit is same as it is for civil services exam.

    For general it is 21 to 30 yrs.

    For OBC it is 21 to 33 yrs i.e, 3 yrs of age relaxation provided.

    For SC/ST It is 21 to 35 yrs i.e, 5 yrs of age relaxation.

    For PH It is 21 to 40 yrs i.e, 10 yrs of age relaxation.

    As you can see that you are eligible for the exam belonging to any of the categories so there is nothing to much worry about.

    Just prepare well for your exam and do hard work as this exam needs a good preparation.

    To give IES exam the basic degree that you require is Graduation in any of the Engineering Branch like mechanical, civil, electrical etc.

    The point that is to be kept in mind is no. of attempts as it is limited. Here below you can see that it is different for different categories.

    Like the ones belonging to General can give only 4 attempts.

    The ones who belong to OBC can give 7 attempts.

    And SC/ST have no restrictions. they can give unlimited attempts tillthey reach their upper age limit.
