Hello there,
.
IAS stands for India administrative service which is equal or higher to IPS.
.
Mostly it is considered that IAS has equal level as IPS and some of them believe IAS is higher then IPS.
To be honest IAS has more importance and has a greater level then IPS.
.
We find only one IAS officer in a area where IPS officers are posted accordingly considering the area's conditions and maintenance.
.
IAS officer is responsible for maintaining law and order, general and revenue administration in the particular which will be handovered.
.
If you are dreaming about wearing police uniform and getting worked done then you should go for IPS .
Not that IAS are not uniformed but the daily and regular costume of the IAS is formal dress.
.
Eligibility for becoming an IAS officer,

• Person must hold a degree
• One who completed examination and waiting for results are even allowed
• Age should be 21
• upper age should be 32. 5 years relaxation for SC/ST. 3 years for OBC. 3 years for defence service personal
• Maximum 6 attempts for general category. scheduled castes and tribes have no attempt limitations but age limit is 37 . OBC has  9 attempts. PHC 9 attempts and caste may vary

.
for being an IAS officer you should crack UPSC exam. and the cut-offs and qualifying marks varies in which year  you are attempting.
.
don't be worried about it.You will be informed via official website
.
so,here i think I have cleared your question.If not and gave something you want to know. please ask us.
