    Dear student,
    In your statement,if you mean to apply for the Indian Foreign Services,then you are surely eligible to appear for one..,,as the minimum educational qualification is to hold a graduation degree,or equivalent from an UGC recognized university or being a final year student in the same.

    But if you meant Indian Forest Service through your words,then your subject combination won't help and you are eligible to apply for this exam.

    Good luck !!
