Hi there,

You didn't mention clearly but as far as my understanding, you meant civil services by your question. Please confirm in comments. I am answering as per the civil services examination.

You can surely go for Civil services exam after MBBS. Just to give you a brief, Civil services examination is conducted by the body called Union Public Service Commission for recruitment to the various services such as administrative , foreign and police service.

The essential qualification/eligibility for the civil services examinations are as for general category candidates are:

  • The minimum age should be 21 and you can appear till 32 years of age. For other category candidates there is some relaxation.
  • The maximum number of attempts for general category candidates is 6, It varies according to category again.
  • As per the educational qualifications, the minimum requirement is the completion of an undergraduate degree either from deemed/private/government/distance/open universities.
  • Specifically for MBBS, the requirement if the internship is not completed is that of providing the necessary proof of documents of eligibility from the from a competent authority at their institute/university at the time of the main examination.
  • The nationality should be INDIAN and there is some other specific requirements again of documents if belonging to other nationalities or some specific states.
