SirI am a M.PHIL French graduate with NET qualified, aged 26yrs . I would like to know if it is really essentiel to clear a UPSC exam to hold a lecturer post in colleges in India or if not what way it is useful for me if I clear this exam, as I happen to see the French paper being one of the main subject in the UPSC civil services exam list. I actually don't understand the need to clear this exam . If so could you please explain me the reason and also is it useful for me to appear for this exam. I would like to know if i can apply for the exam and the procedure.Thank you
