I’m currently serving in the Indian Navy as an officer. Can I apply for the State Public Service Commission (SPSC) exams? If not, why am I restricted to lower-level positions? Is there a specific Navy law or regulation prohibiting me from applying for higher-ranking posts like the SPSC or other civil services? Could you clarify which exams I’m eligible for, particularly for the SPSC, considering I’m serving in the military? My department officer mentioned that I can only apply for the UPSC exams, but the SPSC is also a part of the UPSC.

Serving officers in the Indian Navy are generally eligible to apply for the UPSC Civil Services Examination, including the SPSC. There is no specific Navy law barring officers from applying to the SPSC. Your department officer may be referring to the specific rules regarding applying for the SPSC while serving in the Navy, which may require specific permissions or procedures.
