Can I apply for the UPSC exam if I have completed my education from a foreign university without an equivalent certificate?

No, candidates who have completed their education from a foreign university without an equivalent certificate are generally not eligible to apply for the UPSC exam. The UPSC recognizes degrees from foreign universities listed in the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) handbook or recognized by the government. Candidates must provide valid documentation to support their qualifications during the application process. If the foreign university’s degree is not considered equivalent to the required educational qualification for the UPSC exam, the candidate may not be eligible to apply.
