    Yes, of course. The only requirement for UPSC CSE exam is graduation. It doesn't matter what the field of graduation is.

    Hello Nitin
    You can apply for UPSC exam. The main requirement for this paper is a clearance of graduation that's it. You are eligible to appear for civil services. Moreover, your subject journalism would definitely help you to prepare best for this. Let me give you a brief idea that what actually is prepared for this. There are three sections - prelims, Mains and interview part. Prelims are all based on MCQ's type question while Mains consist of 7 seven paper that is all elaborative. Thank you.

    Hello there,
    Of course, you can apply for UPSC. There are no such restrictions on educational qualification for UPSC examination. You just need to be active on social activities on the regular basis.
