    IAS stands for Indian Administrative Services .

    If you have graduation degree from recognized university then you can apply for IAS Exam.IAS exam conducted for UPSC through civil service exams .

    Final year of degree courses candidate can apply here .

    The age eligibility criteria is -

    Minimum age - 21 years old.
    Maximum age - 30 years old.

    Your age now 19 years old so you are not applicable for IAS exam .After 21 years old of your age you can apply here .

    So you have enough time for prepation for IAS exam .I think you are not a graduate candidate , so first complete your garduation degree very well .

    Permissible No of Attempts in IAS exam -

    For General Category - 4
    For OBC - 7
    For SC/ST - No limit

    Re: Can I enroll for UPSC IAS exam at the age of 19 yrs?

    Sorry to say that at the age of 19 years you can't able to apply for the post of IAS. because for IAS your age must be within 21 years to 30 years on 1 August of the year of exam. There is also relaxation in upper age limit upto 3 years for OBC and 5 years for SC/ST.

    you can get IAS post through UPSC Civil Services exam. Civil Services exam is conducted by UPSC every year.

    Civil Services exam is conducted in three sections:
    CSAT(Prelims)
    Mains
    Interview

    for Civil Services you need graduation degree in any discipline from recognized college or university. final year students can also apply for Civil Services exam.

    for Civil Services exam there is also limit of number of attempts of 4 for General category, 7 for OBC category. There is no limit in number of attempts for SC/ST aspirants.

    as you have minimum 2 years of spare time i will suggest you to prepare hard for Civil Services exam. Because Civil Services exam is not an easy exam. for cracking the exam you need lots of hard work and dedication.

    you can apply for the exam online on:

    Re: Can I enroll for UPSC IAS exam at the age of 19 yrs?

    Sorry you cannot do that because the age for the Civil services examination is is 21 to 30 years of age , but you are only 19 years of age at the moment.so you have 2 years right now to apply for the same.In between either you prepare for the civil services exam or you can apply for the CDS examination because CDS is also based on the graduation.If you have completed the graduation right now then it will be good for you to apply for the same, as after 19 years of age you will be eligible to apply that.You can apply for any of the wings if you have the graduation in physics and maths.But id you have graduation in any other discipline then you can only apply for the indian millitary academy and officers training academy.19 to 24 years for IMA.19 to 25 for OTA.19 to 22 years for Navy.19 to 23 years for the air force.selection procedure written test ssb interview.medical examination.If you qualify the exam then you need to qualify the CDS exam and after that medical.If you got selected then good otherwise you have option of IAS after that.So you can use these 2 years for competetion in other field also.Todays world is full of competetion so you need to put your legs every where, because there is very little chance for selection in civil services if you try other things then it will be better for you.

    To become an IAS Officer you have to appear and clear the UPSC Civil Services Exam(CSE).

    UPSC CSE
    is conducted every year to make
    recruitments to 24 services/posts.

    Eligibilityfor CSE :

    Age Limit :
    General Category-21-30yrs on 1st August of the year of exam
    OBC-21-33yrs
    SC/ST-21-35yrs

    Since you are 19yrs of age you are underage and donot meet the minimum
    eligiblity critera of age limit i.e.21yrs on 1st August of the year of exam.

    So you cannot apply to CSE,before attaining the age of 21yrs.

    Educational qualification :
    A Degree in any discipline from a UGC recognised University.
    Final year appearing/appeared candidates can apply on provision.

    Attempts :
    General Category-4 times
    OBC-7 times

    Dear aspirant,

    -With 19 years of age you are not eligible for IAS exam.

    -You can't apply for IAS/IPS exam which is conducted by UPSC (union public service commission).

    -You should be graduate in any discipline from a recognised university to apply for this exam.

    -Age limit for this exam is 21 to 30 years for general category candidates.

    -Age relaxation is available for SC/ST , OBC, physically handicapped and Ex-servicemen.

    -The number of attempts for general is 4 , for OBC it is 7 and for SC/ST till the age limit exceeds.

    -You have to pass the CSAT (civil service aptitude test) to become eligible for IAS mains.

    -There will be personal interview also after IAS mains.

    BEST OF LUCK...

    Dear Friend,

    * The UPSC IAS Exam is generally known as the Civil Services Exam.

    * The Civil Services Exam is conducted every year by the Union Public Service Commission for the recruitment of candidates for posts like IAS , IPS , etc.

    There are some certain Eligibility Criteria that you have to fulfill if you want to appear in the civil services exam. These are :


    a) You must have a Bachelor`s Degree in any stream from any recognized college/university.

    b) Your age should lie in between 21-30 years as far as you belong to General Category.

    c) There is also a relaxation in upper age given to candidates of Reserved Categories as mentioned below :

    * OBC Category : 3 years

    * SC/ST Category : 5 years.


    So , on the basis of the above mentioned , you can see clearly that you cannot be enrolled for the civil services exam if you are just 19 years old. If you want to go for this exam , then you have to fulfill the above mentioned at any cost.

    This is the information i have to the best of my knowledge regarding your query. Hope the information will help you to the extent you want.
