    Re: Are SC candidates eligible for UPSC exams?

    dear friend,

    In UPSC eligibility is based on qualification and Age, not on the basis of category.

    Eligibility Criteria for UPSC :

    you must complete or appearing in final year of graduation from recognized college or university.

    your age must be within 21 years to 30 years.

    And there is relaxation in UPPER AGE limit for reserved category candidates(3 years for OBC and 5 years for SC/ST candidates).



    Good Luck�..

    Re: Are SC candidates eligible for UPSC exams?

    Hi there!

    My dear friend,
    our constitutional article 15 says : Prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth.
    You don't need to be worried about the caste. And the government exams do not show a line under religion, race, caste. You can apply for all the Government exams.
    So not only SC, but also all castes are eligible to write all the exams.

    And being and Scheduled Caste, you surely have some good benefits.Like age limits, cut off marks etc.
    Age limits : (21-30) for OBC and upper age limits for SC/ST
    and the age of relaxation is 3years for OBC and 5years for SC/ST
    Wherever you go, there is considerable benefits for SC(minimum 2 years) but no degrading of it.
    And the number of attempts for UPSC exams is infinite.

    And wherever you see a discrimination against you, you can verily submit an affidavit against it.

    I wish you all SUCCESS!

    Re: Are SC candidates eligible for UPSC exams?

    SC candidates are definitely eligible for IAS exams. I don�t know why there is confusion in your mind about this matter.

    In India If you are a citizen of India and you satisfy the eligibility criteria for any government job then you are surely eligible for that exam.

    You will not be barred to give any exam because of your category.

    In fact there is reservation for SC category candidate in every government job. There is 5 years of age relaxation available for SC/ST in IAS exams. Means They can give IAS exams till the age of 35 years of age.

    For SC/ST there is no limit for number of attempts . For General and OBC there is limit in number of limits.

    Hence don�t worry about your category and start preparing for IAS exams .

    Apply for IAS exam when the notifications are out through UPSC website .
