To be eligible for the UPSC Civil Services Examination, candidates must hold a bachelor’s degree from a recognized university. There is no specific requirement regarding the field of study, allowing candidates from diverse educational backgrounds to apply. Additionally, age limits vary based on categories, with certain concessions for reserved categories. Aspirants must also meet specific citizenship criteria, typically being Indian citizens. Thus, while the educational qualifications are primary, understanding the broader eligibility criteria helps candidates in their application planning.
