    No there is no percentage criteria for Civil Services or Engineering Services.You should hold a Bachelors degree or should be in Final year to apply for Civil services.There is no bar on marks.Low marks may be a hindrance at the time of interview but that depends on you how you cover up your marks with your performance at interview and Mains performance.
