if i want ias office which group i want to take

Mansi Yashi 21st Oct, 2020
CSE is conducted to fill vacancies in Indian forest service. Indian Police service, Indian Foreign service and Indian Administrative Service
However, which cadre or per say post you will get soley depends on your rank.
Indian Administrative Services is the most popular choice that candidate prefer at the primary level. I would also suggest the same.

Gbharath Raj 25th Oct, 2020

Hello applicant,

* I understood your doubt   that is whether you are eligible to write the IAS exam after completing the b. tech in civils right. I will explain you detailly .

*To become eligible for the UPSC  exam you must have completed graduation from any recognized university,


*It does not matter in which stream you completed your graduation so therefore you can apply after graduation in civils.

*Below is the eligibility criteria :-

1. Age The candidate must have attained the ageof 21 years and must not have attained the age of 32 years (for the General category candidate) on 1 August of the year of examination. Prescribed age limits vary with respect to caste reservations. For Other Backward Castes (OBC) the upper age limit is 35 years.

2. Candidates appearing at UPSC Civil Services examination shall be permitted a maximum of six attempts, which means the candidates who have appeared for the IAS examination for six times will not be considered eligible for UPSC CSE. Moreover, the OBC candidates can appear for a maximum of nine times .and candidates belonging to SC and ST category are exempted rom the attempts cause of UPSC Civil Services exam.

mam, iam 10th now.iam good in maths and theory parts.what method i should follow to become a IAS officer.And any advices for me about that

Raychel 21st Oct, 2020

Dear student,

How are you doing ?, it's nice to see you aspiring to be an IAS OFFICER.

Now I would like to say. Your maths from 10th is like a piece of cake compared to higher classes like 11th or 12th. So when you enter your 11th class and if you take science you will face the reality of maths as a subject.

If you can cope up than we can say you are very good in maths.

Now about your queries, to be an IAS officer, the basic eligibility is,

  • Age limit from 21 to 32 years
  • Educational Qualification for IAS is  Graduation
  • Nationality, you must be an Indian citizens

You can be a graduate in any field no specific criteria, but it must be from a UGC recognised university.  Than you need to prepare and qualify UPSC IAS exam, so apply for UPSC IAS exam, after your graduation. This exam is broken in 2 parts prillms exam and main exam. After clearing both you will be called for interview. I can suggest you that science is an over all good stream for such exam. You can grasp maths as well as other subjects that will help you out. Even if you cant crack IAS exam, your back up graduation in science will open options for other streams.

Hope this helps all the best

hlo sir...i am in mu last year of graduation..im doing bcom...i want to give ias exam next year in 2021..and i will get the age of 21 years in next june2021..am i eligible for giving exam in february 2021.

pdwords Student Expert 29th Nov, 2020

Hello,

As you're aware candidates need to attain 21 years age in order to appear for UPSC, and they can apply even in the final year provided they are able to show the proof of their qualifying examination within the stipulated timeframe as prescribed by the authority, now coming to your question in 2020 official notification, UPSC states "candidates born after 1st August, 1999 aren't eligible to apply", hence accordingly this year it will be "candidates born after 1st August, 2000 aren't eligible to apply", now you're born before the prescribed date hence to answer your question you'll be eligible for UPSC next year, and the exam will not take place in February, it will be conducted on 27th June, the notifications might come in february.

Which is better group in intermediate for IAS

pdwords Student Expert 20th Oct, 2020
Hello,

First of all there's no restriction in terms of subject combinations or belonging to particular stream, UPSC allows candidates from all backgrounds to appear for the exam, candidates need to attain 21 years age, and pass graduation in any discipline from a recognized university,  you can also appear in final year if graduation, now the thing is there are two ways to pursue IAS; one is if you're wholly and solely focused on cracking this exam, then yes having humanities background at 10+2 level and further ahead in graduation will help you a lot, in case you're not sure if you have any other career preferences such as Medical, Engineering, or something different, even then you can appear and qualify this exam, if you look at the last few years toppers many come from diverse backgrounds, also it's good to have back up plan in such cases.

please arrange the following in decreasing order of their benefits and powers IAS,IFS,IRS,IES,IPS

pkp.inutail 28th Nov, 2020

Greetings,

First of all you need a criteria to define 'power' and 'influence'. All these services being naturally prestigious, there is a certain level of difference when it comes to their domain of activity, this difference is what most people define as their 'power' . In simple terms the more influential and far reaching a certain posting is, the more powerful people will consider it to be.

Now let me explain in brief what the so called powers of such officers actually entail:

let me start by ranking them in terms of their social influence (how much are their effecting normal people's lives):

  1. IAS
  2. IPS
  3. IRS
  4. IFS
  5. IES

1) IAS - why is an IAS officer considered influential? simply put an IAS officer, during the early part of his/her career when they are collectors, have a far reaching domain of responsibility. They oversee almost every department in a  district that generates revenue (hence the name, 'collector). Such control over functioning of so many departments puts an IAS in a position to virtually effect so many lives in their districts and that is why people flock around them to gain their favors. IAS officers in later half of their careers are still really influential because they move over to policy making work in various departments, each bureaucratic policy can majorly impact a department or field.

2) IPS - In early career years, IPS officers have direct impact (literally direct) over the citizenry of a district. They interact with the public, deal with their grievances, they can have the authority to arrest, search and even kill (encounter) under certain circumstances, these powers of the police are really unique and effect a lot of people in their daily lives, police is powerful because the people depend and rely on them for protection, exercise of justice and other things, many times these responsibilities are misused in certain ways, unfortunately and hence gives birth to a misconception that the police can do anything to anybody. Later career, IPS officers move away from the field and work on policy policy, budgets, planning, strategies for better policing of a state or move on to central services just like IAS officers.

3) IRS (different from IRAS) - The reason I put an IRS officer above IFS in the list is because we cannot judge the both on the basis of job profile, UPSC preference list and such. IRS stands above in terms of what you call as 'powers' because as I said, the criteria of power and influence involves direct impact on citizens' lives. In that respect, IRS officers handle one of the most import aspects of our economy, taxation and revenue. That responsibility is in an of itself is unique and gives them a wide array of influential decision making powers.

4) IFS - We generally do not interact directly with IFS officers and so they have a clearly defined domain that indirectly affects us in the long run. Meaning that the foreign policies, diplomatic relations that these officers help form with other nations is where their influence is seen most and a normal person living a normal life has no business in that department so they don't need to go to an IFS officer's door to ask for help.

5) IES - IES officers (engineering services) have their own technical exam for selection and are, essentially, 1st class engineers who are concerned with administration of our industrial sector (PSUs and all) so they have a different career trajectory just like IFS officers do which does not involve other citizens as much.

As for their influence, both IFS and IES officers exercise great influence and position of authority in their respective fields but most people like us don't even know who they are but we know who the collector, Chief secretary or SP or Commissioner of a district are.

There you have it, a simple demarcation of what you call 'powers' of the coveted Civil Servants. They are important positions socially as well as politically speaking but at the end of the day their core responsibility is to serve the nation and its citizens.

Hope it helped get some clarity,

Good day!
