Hello, I hope you are doing well

Yes you can appear for UPSC examination after getting into NDA. The basic eligibility criteria to appear for UPSC is that the candidate must hold a graduation degree in any discipline and from a college recognized by the government of India. The candidate must be a citizen of India and must be at least 21 years of age and the maximum age must be 32 years for a general candidate. There is some relaxation in age for OBC, SC and ST candidates.

But, the main issue is you can't just get a leave  for your exam from your job for complete 1 year as you will have to give a good amount of time to the preparation of Exam.

Your option could be to leave the job aside and focus on UPSC or you could take a premature retirement which I don't know is actually possible or not because it is not yet confirmed which force you will join after clearing the NDA exam. The time period for premature retirement is different for different armed forces, also your retirement would have to be approved from the respective authority.

Hope this helps

Hi reader ,

The various academic requirements as per the IAS Eligibility Criteria are given below:

Minimum qualification for UPSC exam: The candidate must hold a degree from Government recognised Universities or possess an equivalent qualification.

Candidates who are in their final year or awaiting results are also eligible to appear for UPSC preliminary Examination. All such candidates who are likely to appear for IAS exams must produce proof of having passed the said examination along with the application for the main IAS examination.

Candidates having professional and technical qualifications recognised by the Government as equivalent to professional and technical degrees.

Medical students who have passed the final year of MBBS, but are yet to complete their internship also have eligibility for IAS. Although, along with the Main Examination application, a certificate of course completion (including internship) from the concerned authority of the University/Institution has to be submitted.

so it is clear that you need atleast an undergraduate degree before you can apply for civil services examination.

so yes you can prepare for UPSC but firstly you need to have an undergradute degree

i hope this helps
