First of all Ashish I would suggest that you read the discussion posts on https://shiksha.com on this subject as there you will get complete information on UPSC exams & it would enhance your knowledge. However, to repeat in short, you need to be in the age bracket of 21 to 30 years and must be at least a graduate from UGC recognized university for being eligible for UPSC exams which are helpd every year (both prelims & Mains and Interview). Thse are not IAS exams as you can also get into IPS and many allied services through tis exam. These are called UPSC exams.
