The minimum education qualification to apply for the IAS exam is a graduate degree. The candidate cannot apply for IAS after Class 12 th. Candidates who are in their final year of Graduation can apply for the exam but they will be required to provide the degree of their exam in the Detailed Application Form (DAF) -2 filled for the main exam in June. Alternatively, the candidates aiming for the IAS exam can start preparing for the IAS exam after class 12th, it would help them in clearing the exam in the first attempt.

To apply for IAS exams, you need to complete your graduation first. And if you are sure that you want to be an IAS, then go for BA in public policy and administration from UPES. UPES is also providing IAS coaching along with this course which will be very beneficial for you.
