Hello,

Yes, Bachelor of Accounting and Finance is a degree course for three years duration, so if you pursue it from a recognized university, then you're definitely eligible to appear for UPSC as its eligibility criteria states graduation in any discipline from a recognized university, you need to attain 21 years age as of the appearing year, and you can also apply in the final year of graduation, UPSC is conducted in three phases such as Prelims, Mains and Personality Test,

IAS have all the departmental powers in a district. He/She is the signing authority. So IAS have good powers in Police and it towers over a IPS. So you can understand how influential it can be.

I would say don't take this influential side of the IAS to be your goal. If you intend to give a loyal service to the citizens then only you should come in this profession.

I hope you get my point. All the very best for your future endeavors!

Hello candidate,

There is no protocol or rule in the Indian constitution that every common man needs to salute the IAS or IPS officer whether he or she is on or off duty in general.

However, it's a general protocol for a less experienced officer to salute his senior whether he is an IAS or IPS while he is on duty.

Hope you found it informational!!

There are certain parameters under which only you can leave airforce. Firstly you can't leave without serving atleast 7 years. However if you can clear all the phases of UPSC and your name comes up in the final list then you can visit IAF headquarters and convince your seniors and then you can take NOC and then finally you can resign air force and can join you new service.
