Can I apply for the UPSC exam if I have completed my education from a private university without recognition?

No, candidates who have completed their education from a private university without recognition are not eligible to apply for the UPSC exam. The UPSC requires candidates to possess a degree from a recognized university or an equivalent qualification. Recognition by the University Grants Commission (UGC) or other relevant authorities is essential to ensure the credibility and authenticity of the educational qualification.
