    No there is no age realxation for women to sit in the UPSC civil services exams

    Minimum educational qualifications to sit in the upsc exams is graduation pass
    Min age is 21 years
    max age is 30 years
    OBC gets 3 years age relaxation and sc/st gets 5 years age relaxation.

    Number of attempts is 4 for general and 7 for OBC and no restriction for SC/ST

    so if you meet the above eligibilty than apply for these exams

    there is no advantage given on the sex basis that male or female,

    as far as age relaxation is concerned ,
    upsc gives age relaxation to the candidates belonging to OBC and SC/St category's,

    candidates who belonging to such category's will get the age relaxation it doesn't matter weather the candidate is male or female.

    Hi Dear

    Sorry to inform you; but no age relaxation is given to female candidates in any UPSC Exam!!!

    Also there is no such exam named Indian Foreign Services Exam; the recruitment for Indian Foreign Services is done through Civil Services Exam.

    So in order to get into Indian Foreign Services you will have to clear Civil Services Exam with a good rank.

    However the general eligibility criteria for the UPSC Civil Services Exam is as follows:

    #Minimum academic qualifications prescribed: A degree from a recognized University or equivalent.
    (Candidates appearing at the degree examination also eligible to compete subject to certain conditions).

    #Age limit:
    For General: 21-30 years
    For OBC : 21-33 years
    For SC/ST : 21-35 years
    For PH : 21-40 years

    Good luck....

    There is no gender based relaxation in any standards other than Physical and certain medical conditions in UPSC.There is category based relaxation in age and minimum marks of qualifying as well as eligibility but for different gender there is no difference.Men and Women are given equal importance

    Here is the Age limit of all category candidate:

    If you want to become IFS officer then start preparation because Female candidates have less competition in UPSC exam than Male Candidates.
