Hello dear

You can apply for ias exam in any case but the selection will be done only after you clear all the stages and then medical and fitness test  And

As per the standard eligibility if you have a 6/6 or 6/9 vision with or without spectacles then definitely you can join.

CL and refractive surgery like LASIK, ICL, IOL, etc. are also allowed those who have myopia with macular degenerative changes will be declared unfit for service in the IAS. People with a squint in the eyes are fit for service..

so hope you get it.

good luck

Hello dear

As you can give exam but the selection will be done after you clear the interview and medical test .

For this you must have 6/6 vision or 6/9 with or without correction. Surgery like Lasik, icl, iol etc are also allow ed but those who have myopia with macular degenerative are not fit and not selected in any case.

So you are eligible only if your eye does not have mascular degenerative.

Good luck

Hi,

The eligibility to become an IAS is you should have passed graduation from any stream.

To do a course to get pilot license after 12th the eligibility is 10+2passed from a recognized board with minimum 50% of marks and a minimum age of 17 years.

So a 12th repeater can apply to pilot course. And to a IAS course also but to apply for IAS he has to complete graduation.

Hope it helps.
