Is there any limitation to write psc, upsc and railway test if i study bsc industrial chemistry?? Can I take msc Chemistry after completing bsc industrial chemistry??

Jyoti Eyasmin 10th Aug, 2022

Dear Student,

First of all let’s see the eligibility criteria of the examination that you had mentioned.

Public service Commission- The fundamental eligibility requirements for each state's PSC test vary because each state in the US has a unique conducting body for its own state-level exam. You  can verify the prerequisites for the state they are applying for on the official website.

In case of Kerala PSC - The applicants must be citizens of India and have a legal document proving their status as permanent residents of Kerala. According to the eligibility requirements for the Kerala PSC 10th Level Prelims, aspirants must have earned an SSLC or an equivalent degree.

UPSC - The UPSC does not judge applicants unfairly based on their degree test results. As a result, there is no required minimum qualifying percentage for IAS eligibility. The following list includes the UPSC's requirements for educational eligibility for the UPSC exam:

1.The applicant must be a graduate of a university with official recognition.

2.Candidates who are in their final year or who are awaiting results are also eligible to take the UPSC preliminary examination.

Railway test - Candidates who finished Class 10 at an institution accredited by NCVT/SCVT or one of its equivalents and who hold a National Apprenticeship Certificate (NAC) issued by NCVT/ITI degree are eligible to apply for the RRB Group D exam. For undergraduate positions, candidates applying to RRB NTPC must have completed Class 12; for graduate level positions, candidates must have completed graduation. Candidates for Assistant Loco Pilot must have completed Class 10 or SSLC Plus ITI, Act Apprenticeship Training, or have a diploma or degree in engineering. Candidates for the position of technician must have completed Act Apprenticeship training or Class 10 with Physics and Math, or have a diploma in engineering (As Applicable). Candidates for the RRB JE position must have earned their engineering diploma.

As you can see the eligibility criteria of the above examination, graduating with industrial chemistry will not hold you back from giving those examinations. You are eligible for all the exams you mentioned.

Next thing is if you can opt for masters in chemistry if you do Bsc in industrial chemistry. Now let’s see the eligibility criteria for masters of chemistry -

Applicants for the MSc in Chemistry programme must hold a bachelor's degree in science from an accredited institution of higher learning. To achieve the minimum requirements for admission to the MSc level, the candidate should essentially receive 50% to 60% grades at the graduation level.

So yes you are eligible to do masters in chemistry after completing Bsc in industrial chemistry.

Here’s a link to list of few msc chemistry colleges -

Hope this helps you.

sksatyam043 21st Aug, 2022

Hello,

You are only 1cm less than the required height in IPS post. The minimum height required for male candidates is 165cm( for all categories except ST) , for ST candidates the height required for male is 160cm. You are not much less than the required height, try doing some exercises to maintain your height at that level. You will be eligible for that. Don't worry.

All the best

Is it really important to select physics as my optional paper for upsc if Ive graduated in it, cause I dont want to since Im not so good at it?

Sayan 6th Aug, 2022

Hello,

Look, you wouldn't want to take a chance with an optional course that has 500 marks since they may have an impact on your grade.

In response to the question, you can select whatever subject you choose as long as you are either skilled in it or are interested in it. Only your curiosity will ultimately be able to carry you through. Each and every mark will be crucial in this war of markings. Nobody is going to question you about why you didn't select your graduation subject. Many students pick their elective courses each year based on personal preference rather than academic merit.

So simply calm and choose a subject that you are knowledgeable in.

Good Luck!!

A civil service Candidate must be a minimum of 21 years of age and must not be more than 32 years of age. General Category & EWS: 32 years; 6 attempts. OBC (with certificate): 32 years + 3 years; 9 attempts. SC/ST: 32 years + 5 years; unlimited attempts. General Category: 6 attempts till 32 years of age. The number of attempts for IAS exam: OBC: 9 attempts till 35 years of age. The number of attempts for IAS exam: SC/ST: unlimited attempts till 37 years of age.

as you mentioned your birth month is September and your birth year is 1991. let me assume you belonging from general category then your age is 31 year right now and you can apper for UPSC exam till 32. so you have 1 more year to be apper in UPSC.

my suggestion for you will be to study hard as it is your last month. maintain consistency work hard, study timely and crack UPSC.

Should I take BSc Physics or BBA LLB cuz Im a UPSC aspirant and I wanna start my prep during the course of my degree. Also considering which course provides safer backup even if I dont crack UPSC and what job opportunities do these degrees offer respectively if I dont make it ?

Sohamsengupta8 31st Jul, 2022
Hello
To qualify in UPSC exam candidates have to do BA Honours  in Sociology/Economics/psycology or BSc in  honours with physics/chemistry/Mathematics or VA in History with atleast 60% marks in ug courses.But after all  the motivation and mental set up for doing hard labour with a systematic routine regular practice is urgent.
But if you do not set up your mind for UPSC exam the the subjects mentioned here will be better for further study and doing a job  in future.
Hope this help.
