Play DemoThe upcoming batch is tailored to equip students for the UPSC IAS examination of 2025-26. Annually, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) orchestrates the Civil Services Examination (CSE) to shortlist candidates for over 20 prestigious services, including the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS), and Indian Foreign Service (IFS). Typically, the IAS exam witnesses registration from more than eight lakh aspirants, with approximately five lakh candidates actually appearing for the examination.
The selection process for this coveted examination involves three stages: the preliminary exam, the main examination, and an interview/personality test. This rigorous year-long procedure commences in June and concludes in April of the following year. The final merit list for the Civil Services Examination is typically unveiled in May. UPSC issues the notification for the examination annually in February.
Eligibility criteria set forth by the UPSC encompass four main categories:
Age Limit: Aspiring candidates must fall within the age bracket of 21 to 32 years. However, there are relaxations granted for certain categories at the discretion of the UPSC and the government. For instance, specific considerations are made for candidates belonging to various categories, extending the age limit accordingly.
Nationality: Primarily, the minimum requirement to appear in the UPSC CSE exams is to be an Indian citizen. However, this criterion varies concerning the services sought. Indian administrative, police and foreign services mandate Indian citizenship. Nevertheless, provisions exist for citizens of Bhutan, Nepal, and certain Tibetan refugees, under specific conditions. Additionally, Indian migrants from specified countries may also be considered eligible.
Education: Candidates must possess a degree from any government-recognized university to meet the educational eligibility criteria.
Attempts: The number of attempts permitted varies across different categories. Scheduled Tribes (ST) and Scheduled Castes (SC) candidates can apply an unlimited number of times until they reach the age of 37 years. Other Backward Classes (OBCs) have a limit of nine attempts, while candidates from the General category can attempt the exam only six times.
These comprehensive eligibility criteria ensure a fair and inclusive selection process for aspirants from diverse backgrounds.
