    Hii...
    Off course u can apply for ies if u have below 60% in engineering because the eligibility criteria for ies is only a bachelor degree in engineering. But there is some age limit according to the caste category. All u have to do is to prepare both for objective and conventional type questions. Objectives are a little tricky but conventional are easy. U can solve at least 10 years sample papers for ur practice. Good luck

    Why not?
    There is no percentage criteria for admission to the IES examination.
    You should have obtained a degree in engineering in any branch of Civil , Mechanical , Electrical , Electronics & Telecommunication.
    There is no other criteria apart from the age limit & nationality which you are required to meet.
    UPSC only recruits Indian nationals.
    Age limit is 21 to 30 years, so you can give the examination whenever your ready for it.
    These jobs are very reputed & thousand of candidates appear for them every year.
    Just don't write the exam, prepare well and crack it.
    All the best !

    And the age between 21 years to 30 years i.e.
