Dear student,

Yes you can do that. But it also depends on your college or university you are taking admission in.

Like see, if you are doing BTech or MBBS from any recognized college then they hardly give you anytime to go out and take coaching classes. They keep us busy in various assignments and works.

Make sure that while you are applying for UPSC exam through which you can be an IAS officer, your age should be between 21 to 32 years old. Candidate needs a graduation degree from a recognized university or college.
