Sir, please tell me if I can apply for the IAS/IPS exams despite having an FIR in a fighting case. If both parties later reach a compromise, can I still apply? Please advise regarding UPSC rules on candidates with criminal cases and whether someone with an FIR can become an IAS

IAS/IPS, because there's no automatic disqualification at the exam stage. However, things get much more serious during the personality test and especially the character and antecedent verification done before final appointment.

Here's how it works:

  • A pending FIR or charge sheet does not bar you from writing the exam or even clearing it.

  • But if the case involves serious charges, especially crimes involving moral turpitude, financial fraud, or violence, it will be scrutinized during background checks.

  • If you're convicted before appointment, you're almost certainly disqualified, especially under Rule 6 of the IAS/IPS Rules, which emphasizes public trust and integrity.

  • Even if not convicted, the nature of the case and whether it appears politically motivated or genuinely serious can influence the final decision, as the UPSC and government have discretion.

yes i think you should apply for the upsc examination, but you should also try to get the case compromised as soon as possible, if the offence is compoundable and both parties agree for a compromise then you can file a criminal writ for quashing of the FIR in the high court.

अगर आप लोगों की आपसी सुलह हो गई है तो बस सुलहनामा माननीय उच्च न्यायालय जो भी आपकी न्याय क्षेत्र में लगती हो एक रिट याचिका दाखिल करें और एक याचिका दाखिल करने के पश्चात सुलह के आधार पर वह FIR भाषण समाप्त कर दी जाएगी और आप यूपीएससी का एग्जाम और कोई भी नौकरी बड़े आराम से कर सकते हैं आपको कोई दिक्कत नहीं होगी आपको यह रिट याचिका भारतीय संविधान के अनुच्छेद 226 के अंतर्गत दाखिल करानी होगी
