Hello

the UPSC IAS Prelims Exams has a question paper which contains questions of the objective type, so in that there are only two languages availably, English and Hindi. But for the UPSC Mains Exam you can answer in Kannada language as it is accepted by UPSC, however the questions will be given in English or Hindi language, hence it is required that you have minimum knowledge in these language.

You can check all the details regarding UPSC from the link below

Dear Student,

Any student at any stage can start preparing for al l UPSC exams. UPSC conducts different types of exams which include the exams you can give after 12th or after graduation.

if you want to give the UPSC exam after 12th then you need to give the NDA entrance examination to take admission in defence forces.

And after completing graduation you can give exams like CDS, CAPF, CSE, etc.

In all the graduation exams if you are in your final year of the degree then you can give the entrance exam.

Particularly if you are asking for the UPSC CSE then yes, if you are in the final year of a BBA degree then you can give the UPSC CSE examination.

Good Luck :)

Hi, so basically UPSC's eligibility criteria is very simple. You have to complete graduation from any recognised University. And you must be atleast 21(years of age). The age limit is 32(years of age) for general and varies with different category.

The number of attempts are 6 and this too varies with different category.

You must be a citizen of India for positions such as IAS and IPS.

So to sum up, you are definitely eligible for appearing in this exam.

Hope this is helpful.
