Hello,

Dear student

The answer to your query is yes absolutely, you can crack civil services after your b tech course gets completed. There is no any kind of restriction in USPC CSE exam. Any one at any age not more than 32 can appear and with hardwork and as well as smart-work can crack civil services

To be named there are many IAS officers who are from engineering background Shubham kumar, jivani karthik, Kanishk kataria, Akshat jain and many more.

These all can be your inspiration.

Wth that I would also like to suggest you to gear up yourself and start the preperation from the first day as USPC is known to be one of the toughest examination if the country you need to put all your efforts into it.

But starting the right with right study materials is something you should look after. There are hell lot of materials in the market, on the internet which are just irrelevant and unnecessary that can cause you a huge loss in your preparation.

Here are some important point you should surely keep in mind before starting your preparation.

• Do not fall for any irrelevant materials.
• Go through the syllabus thoroughly.
• Set your goals, targets and plan your day according to it.
• Do not use lot of books for 1 subject stick to 1-2 max books for your reference. Limit your study material.
• Revision Revision and revision the most important thing.

Hi,

I don't think it will affect you while giving any government exam. For any government exam there will be a eligibility criteria and certain age limit.

For civil services exam the eligibility age is 21 years and should have a degree from any recognized University.

• The age limit is 32 years for general Category and EWS Category i.e., till the age of 32 years you can give this exam.
• For OBC Category it is 35 years.
• For SC/ST, it is 37 years.

In the same way, other government exams also will have certain age limits.

Hope it helps!

See in general there are no problem. But if you are targetting UPSC CSE then the age limit if 21 to 32 years. So if you take even 2 years of gap then you have good amount of time available to be eligible for it. Apart from this you should keep in mind, that for civil services you need to have a UG degree. So if you take a gap then no problem but you must be serious about your preparation as you know UPSC CSE is the toughest examination. The eligibility criteria is also the same for the state PSC's as well.
