Hi koti
OC means open category / general category. It doesn't matter whether you belong to open ,OBC SC or any other category, you can still become an IAS officer.
Now,
In order to become an IAS officer then you need to be a graduate in any discipline and at least 21 years old and then clear UPSC civil services examination which consists of three stages listed below :-
*prelims exam :- it is objective paper and is of qualifying nature , so you just need to at least qualify it to be eligible for mains examination, the score /marks obtained by you in your prelims examination is not added up or used in your final merit. Your prelims exam consist of 2 papers: -
-) general studies 1
-) general studies II ( csat )
You get 2 hours for each paper
*Mains exam. :- it is descriptive /written examination . There are a total of 9 papers which are listed below:-
