Thank you

Any candidate who have completed there graduation either from Regular/ Distance mode are eligible for Civil servant. So don't worry about that and keep on preparing.

For civil services you have State PSC and UPSC CSE. Depending on your target and goals you have to work on it. The syllabus will be different for UPSC and PSC.
