Hi aspirant,

Yes you can surely appear for the UPSC examination as your age will be 21 by the 1st August 2023. As per the UPSC age limit eligibility criteria, those between 21 to 32 years as on August 1, in the conducting year, can fill the UPSC IAS application form.  However there is some relaxations for some categories in upper age.

Talking about acaedmic qualifications you need to have a Bachelor's degree ( BA , B.Com , B.Sc , BBA , BCA , B.Tech etc.) with at least one of the subjects namely Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Science, Botany, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics, Physics, Statistics and Zoology or a Bachelor's degree in Agriculture, Forestry or in Engineering from recognised university.

Hope it helps!

The minimum age criteria for the UPSC CSE is 21 years as on August 1, 2023 and the upper age limit is around 32 years as on August 1, 2023. Now as you are turning 21 before August1, 2023, you are eligible for the examination.
