Hello,

In order to appear for UPSC, you needs to do graduation in any discipline from a recognized university, BMS is an undergraduate management degree, hence you are eligible to give UPSC with this degree, you need to be 21 years old and can appear even in the final year of the graduation, there is no specific aggregate required in this case.

To provide you a brief about this exam;

UPSC Civil Service Exam consists of three stages-

  1. Preliminary
  2. Mains
  3. Interview


Preliminary consists of two papers, for each is of 200 Marks, it's MCQs based and its numbers aren't added in the final list.

First is GS Paper-I with the following topics

History of India and Indian national movement, Indian and World geography, Economic and social development- sustainable development, poverty,inclusion demographics, social sector initiatives etc,Indian polity and governance-constitution,political system,Current Events nationally and Internationally, General Science,General Issues on environmental ecology,biodiversity and climate change.

Candidates just need to score the required cut offs against their respective category in this case.

Second is the qualifying paper CSAT where candidates are required to score 33% which is 66 marks out of 200, this includes topics as follows

basic numeracy, comprehension, logical reasoning and analytical ability, general mental ability, decision making and problem solving, interpersonal skills including communication skills.


Coming to Mains it's more of a subjective type, candidates are required to write answer for Four General Studies Paper such as


  1. GS-I includes Indian Heritage and Culture,History and Geography of the World and Society,
  2. GS-II includes Governance, Constitution, Polity, Social Justice and International Relations,

  4. GS-IV includes Ethics, Integrity, and Aptitude

In addition to Four GS Papers, there are Two Optionals, One Essay, Two Language Paper , there are Total Nine Papers here. 250 marks are assigned to each paper ,

hi,

see the eligibility criteria for upsc civil service exam is , candidates need to complete a bachelors degree in any discipline from a recognized education board. however candidates must satisfy the age criteria.

The candidate must have attained the age of 21 years as on 1st August of the year in which the exam would be held. This means, for the UPSC 2020 exam, the candidate must be 21 years as on 1st August 2020.

The upper age limit for the IAS exam is 32 years. This means, the candidate must not have attained the age of 32 years as on 1st August 2020 for the forthcoming IAS exam. So, if a candidate wants  to take the 2020 UPSC exam, his or her date of birth should fall between 2nd August 1987 and 1st August 1998. however age relaxation upto 5 years is applicable for reserve category candidate.
