Civil
Services
Introduction
Civil service, the backbone of the
Indian government machinery
constitutes all the departments
which runs the State administration.
A highly competitive and challenging
area, it involves a variety of jobs
in different departments. Compared
to private sector jobs this
profession has job security. The
prestige and power that comes along
with these top-notch jobs is a
definite reason for anybody to join
this profession. The salary,
allowances and facilities like
healthcare, housing, conveyance etc.
also make it a lucrative profession.
Entry into the IAS,
IPS and the Central Services, Group
A and Group B is through the All
India Combined Competitive
Examination for the Civil Services
conducted by the Union Public
Service Commission (UPSC) in
different centers spread all over
the country. However, recruitment to
the Indian Forest Service is through
a different procedure. Entry into
the State Civil Services is through
a competitive examination conducted
by every state public service
commission. Anyone thinking of
taking up civil service, should have
an idea how difficult it is to get
in as lakhs of candidates apply for
the 400 to 500 vacancies that may
arise. So once you decide to appear
in civil service exam, one should be
prepared to slog endlessly.
