How to Apply for IAS Exam?

Indian Administrative Service (IAS) is one of the toughest competitive exams in India. It was formerly known as the Imperial Civil Service. The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) administers the Civil Services Examination, a national competitive exam in India, to select candidates for higher civil service positions with the Indian Government, such as those in the Indian Administrative Service, Indian Foreign Service, and Indian Police Service.

Many people believe that the IAS exam is the most difficult one in India. The extremely low pass rate in this area is the reason for this. In addition, there is a sizable syllabus to be covered (see the UPSC syllabus in the link), not to mention the variety of topics one needs to learn for it.

The IAS exam notification will be released in the month of February 2023. The eligibility criteria must be read carefully by all the candidates.

Eligibility Criteria:

A Graduate Degree from a recognised University.

       

Category Age Limit No of Attempts
General/Ews 32 years 6
