    Hi..friend
    There is nothing to worry about your percentage why because
    UPSC needs only complete graduates in any stream with any percentage
    But he/she must be graduate or being a final years student
    Age must be between 21 to 25 years
    Age relaxation is not applicable for any reserved caste(sc,st,obc or anything else)
    Through cds you would go for AIR FORCE,ARMY,NAVY AND SPECIAL OFFICERS
    The following engineers also applicable to write cds exam
    CSE ENGINEERS
    IT ENGINEERS
    ECE ENGINEERS
    EEE ENGINEERS
    CIVIL ENGINEERS
    MECH ENGINEERS

    Any way good luck...

    dear aspirant,
    as far as eligibility for the upsc exams is concerned then i must tell you that there is no particular percentage required for the upsc exam,
    minimum passing percentage will make you eligible for the upsc exams,
    upsc does not sets any percentage bars for the candidates to become eligible for the upsc exams,

    age required for the CDS exam is 19 to 24 years ,
    for IMA 19 to 25 years,

    also candidates belonging to OBC and SC/ST category gets age relaxation of 3 years and 5 years respectively,

    good luck
