• 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.

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 :)

Yeah! You can choose any subject as your optional and it doesn't matter which subject you have done graduation on. But you must have a reason why you are studying literature instead of Physics which you have taken as a subject in your UG. Such questions are oftenly asked in the Personality Test of UPSC CSE. So you can take the subject but you should give some time in thinking an accurate answer of choosing Literature as an optional and not physics.
