Yes, a post-basic BSc nursing degree holder is eligible to apply for the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) exam. The eligibility criteria for the IAS exam primarily focus on educational qualifications, age limit, nationality, and other specified criteria, and they do not restrict candidates based on specific academic disciplines.
Having a background in Nursing can offer a unique perspective and expertise in healthcare-related issues, which can be advantageous in administrative roles related to health, public welfare, or governance.

The candidates should note that the minimum qualification to apply for the UPSC Civil Service (IAS ) exam is a Graduate degree in any discipline. There is no way to apply for the UPSC IAS exam after 12.
The candidates can start preparing for the UPSC CSE(IAS) exam after class 12 to score better when they appear in the Civil Service Exam. The preparation will help them in clearing the IAS Exam.
