Hello,

Of-Course you will be fully eligible for UPSC when you will be 28.

The Age limit for UPSC exam is 21 to 30 years on 1 August of Exam Year i.e. If you are appearing in 2012 UPSC exam then your age should between 2 August 1982 to 1 August 1991.

First of all you have to download and print Previous Years Question Papers from UPSC official website www.upsc.gov.in

NCERT books are best for the basic knowledge because it covers full syllabus of UPSC.

You can also practice more and more MODEL Question Papers from a sample paper by which you can experience to the Questions coming in UPSC exams.

The minimum cut off marks very every years so you should prepare yourself with good efforts.

Wish you all the best,

Dear aspirant,
There is no fixed passing rates in the Civil Service exams.But one thing is for sure,it requires lots of hard work and dedication to pass these.
As for preparations,one must be very much sure about the optional subjects he would choose.They must be his strength,and he must know all their details in the back of his hand.
Also to be take note of are the general studies subjects that include current affairs,history,geography,environmental studies,English comprehension,basic mathematics and reasoning type questions.
You should practice a lot of model papers.
Also,The candidate must be very confident.

These would keep you in best shape for the preparation of this EXAM.
Good Luck !!

dear friend civil services exam is one of the toughest exam to crack in our country and if you want to clear that in first attempt then you have to start working really hard from now only firstly you have to choose that what will be your optional subjects and what will be your main subjects then work accordingly hard you have two more years now to apply so you have the time just utilize that fully and you are totally eligible toa pply

there are no cut off marks like we get to enter in any of the universities
it is just based on the merit list
if u pass in all the exams u will become a civil servant
and anybody can crack it in one attemp
the only thing is that u have to prepare it with full dedication and hard work.

hi yogesh,

do not thing to get passing marks..you have potential then why are you thinking of passing..

try to score at least half of the total marks like(main exam total marks -2000 marks ,so try to score 900-1000 at least),if there is negative marking ,you are not sure about the answer,then better to leave as a blank

to come out from this better to practice old year questions papers

spend more time to concentrate for the exam

good luck

thank you

Hi Aspirant

Well their is no specific pass percentage

As for the upsc exam and as you said your age is now 26

And after passing B.SC Your age will be 28

And yes for general 30 is the maximum age

Here is the details about exam:

-The candidates age should be 21-30 for general

-The candidates should be citizen of india

-The candidate should be pass in graduation from a recognized indian university

-Final year students can also apply for the exam

And as you are a 1st year student i think so you can apply at the age of 27 too

As final year student allowed

And for the preparation here is some steps:

-First select your optional subjects

-Then start preparation of the optional subjects

-work hard and hard for the exam

-Study daily with concentration and cool mind

Best of luck

hello my dear friend...........

there are nothing to take with passing marks in UPSC

if you have pattential then you can clear the exam

and remember there is no shortcut to success

you have to work hard in order to pass the exam

you have to fix a time table for the studies

and you have to practise for the previous year question paper for twice or thrice

thank you and all the very best..................
