3 .  Subject : Query on Eligibility - Exceptional
Question : Sir/Madam, I've completed my 3 Year Diploma (regular) in Electronics. Then during my 7Yrs of IT Job, I had parallelly completed MBA (IT) from Sikkim Manipal University (Distance Education), which is recognized by UGC. UPSC mentions the eligibility as "a degree from a recognised University or equivalent". But, I read in some portals that, a Bachelor's Degree is mandatory to appear for ICS (IAS/IPS) exam, despite of me having an MBA. I tried reachig the UPSC Facilitation Counter through 011-23381125/23385271/23098543, but had no response. All the other portals gave me diplomatic answers, as "you should have a Degree", but this would not really guide me as what I have is a direct Master's degree. Could you please confirm whether I would be eligible with my current qualifications or not. It would be of immense help if you could get this clarified for me. Thanks in advance, Sandeep
-Sandeep, (3/15/2010)
Yes. UGC or equivalent body recognized degree is must.
