Re: BE Civil Engineering Applicant Eligible For IAS Exam

Sorry to say that being a BE Civil Engineering second year student you are not eligible for the IAS Exam due to the following reasons given below.

Eligibility criteria:
Aspirants must have to pass Graduation degree in any stream from a recognized University are eligible to apply this exam.

Applicants who have passed the final year of MBBS or any Medical degree Examination but are yet to complete the internship can also appear for the Main Examination.
The age limit for General Category students is 21-30 years.
For SC/ST candidates it is 21-35 years
For OBC Aspirants it is 21-33 years
Candidates should be citizen of India.
The candidates who is a Ex-service men will get a exception of 5 years from the prescribed limits.

Selection procedure:
IAS examination offers following no.of attempts:
OBC aspirants -7 times
General aspirants -4 times
No limit for SC/ST students
The selection process of IAS exam comprises of following two steps:
Written test(preliminary and mains)
Personal interview
