UPSC CSE Eligibility
UPSC Civil Services Eligibility
Educational qualification
Candidates must possess a bachelor's degree or an equivalent qualification recognised under the applicable Civil Services Examination rules.
Final-year candidates and candidates awaiting qualifying examination results may apply subject to the conditions and documentary requirements specified in the applicable examination rules.
Age and other conditions
Age limits, nationality requirements, number of attempts and service-specific eligibility conditions are prescribed for each examination cycle. Candidates should therefore use the relevant year's official notification for the exact applicable rules.
Service-specific eligibility
Some services have additional nationality, medical, physical or other requirements. Meeting the general CSE eligibility conditions does not automatically establish eligibility for every service.
