    you are eligible to apply in IAS examination provided you fulfill all the other eligible criteria mention by UPSC.

    And if you prepare well and in very organized way it might be possible that you may get selected in IAS examination.

    IAS need serious one or two years preparation.

    If you focus your all energy in right direction in preparing for IAS examination it might be possible that you get through this examination .

    IAS means Indian Administrative Services.

    To become IAS Officer, one has to give the civil services exam conducted by UPSC.

    The eligibility required to give this exam is any degree from recognized university.

    The age criteria required is minimum 21 years and maximum 30 years for general category.

    There is upper age relaxation for reserved category candidates. It is as follows:

    3 years for OBC.

    5 years for SC/ST.

    10 years for PWD/Ex-service men.

    Exam Pattern:



    Number of attempts:

    General category- 4

    OBC - 7

    There is no limit for SC/ST.

    As you are 21 now, you are surely eligible to give the Exam.

    You can become IAS officer, if you seriously prepare for it.

    As this is the toughest exam, one has to work very hard to get through the exam.

    Re: Is it possible for me to become an IAS officer at the age of 21 years?

    Hi
    IAS-Logo.jpg
    IAS exam is conducted by UPSC.

    Eligibility for IAS exam is that you have a graduate degree and your age must lies in between 21 -30 years.

    So you can apply for the IAS exam at the age of 21 years but you can not become the IAS officer at the age of 21 years because the whole procedure

    of IAS exam will take approximately one year and after that you will become the IAS officer.

    So you can get the post of the IAS officer at least in the age of 22 years.


    Thank you.....

    Dear Aspirant

    See when you attend the age of 21 years you become eligible for applying civil service examination.Civil service examination is not so easy.You have to really work smartly and meticulosly in order to get success.Every year millins of student try their luck and hardly ome of them get success.You can think the level of exam.You can too become IAS officers but not at the age of 21 but if you really work hard you can at the age of 22.Besides this you need to coplete your graduation also.This is the minimum educational qualification set by UPSC for appearing in the exam.However your graduation can be in any streams .
