Anand, if you look at any of the Government job notifications, the eligibility criteria is simple. You should have completed your Bachelor's degree or Master's degree. Sometimes there is a stream mentioned and sometimes few Government jobs do not even need specific stream specialisations. For example, take UPSC. For being eligible for UPSC, you should have completed your Bachelor's degree in any discipline. It doesn't mention a particular stream or an aggregate or not even the minimum no.of years that one should have completed their Graduation in. But there are few jobs which specify that the Graduation shouldn't have taken more than 6 years. But in your case, you are fine because it is a matter of 1 year. For 97% of the exams that you want to apply for, this might not even be an issue. There might be a minute 3% of the jobs which may have specifications like first attempt pass, etc but if you look at the bright side you can test for 97% of the opportunities. So when you are applying for any Government examination or a job, just look at the eligibility criteria and apply accordingly. Good luck:)
