It is not possible to become an IAS Officer right after completing 12th standard!







In order to become an IAS Officer, you must apply for CSE exam conducted by the UPSC. You must also crack the exam (preliminary, mains and interview) in order to get selected for the training.







The basic eligibility criteria required to appear for this exam is  candidate must possess Graduate Degree from a recognized University/Institute!







So technically, 12th passed students cant appear for this exam right after 12th. After completing 12th, they must complete Graduation first. After completing Graduation program successfully, they may take a shot and CSE and become an IAS Officer subsequently!







You may begin your preparation after 12 though!



start CSE preparation after 12th though. Well, preparation can be started well before reaching 12th standard too!







You may start off CSE preparation by focusing on current affairs, making notes (related to current affairs) and reading newspapers daily.

The following candidates are also eligible, but must submit proof of their eligibility from a competent authority at their institute/university at the time of the main examination, failing which they will not be allowed to attend the exam:
