Dear Aspirant

Yes why not you can go for the upsc exam

My friend as for the upsc exam you just need to be pass in graduation from

A recognized indian university it does not matter that the graduate degree is in

b.pharma or b.tech or b.com just need a graduation degree

Also the age is 21-30

And relaxation will be given to the reserved candidates

For sc/st 5 and for obc 3 and for ph 10 year

So dear go for the exam

And as IFS Exam is same as for ips or ias

But the cut off is little less as compare to ias and ips

Best of luck

dear friend,

you can definitely apply for IFS exam.

age limit:
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........

you are asking for Indian forest examination right?
The candidate must hold a Bachelor�s degree with at least one of the subjects namely Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Science, Botany, Chemistry, Geology,
Mathematics, Physics, Statistics and Zoology or a Bachelor�s degree in Agriculture, Forestry or in Engineering of any of Universities incorporated by an Act
of the Central or State Legislature in India or other educational institutions established by an Act of Parliament or declared to be deemed as a University
under Section-3 of the University Grants Commission Act, 1956 or possesses an equivalent qualification.
If you have studied any of the above mentioned subjects in your graduation, then you can apply.
the exam is equal to IAS/IPS in terms of toughness. So dont under-estimate or be complacent. ALL THE BEST
