Hi aspirant,

Its nice that while studying in college someone thinking about upsc exam. For appearing upsc exam basic qualification is one need to be graduated, in your case you are graduated thats why yes you can appear for an exam.

Now you know that upsc exam has limited number of tries, so if you are confident enough then you can go for it and can pass with flying colours. But just think of your situation that right now you are studying in pg , so are you able to cope up with both the syllabus simultaneously, because in upsc exam they are covering lots of subjects.

just thinm and then apply. And yes again saying that you can appear for the exam.

Hope it will be helpful to clear your dilemma.
