Introduction to UPSC
Civil service, the backbone of the Indian government machinery constitutes all the departments which run the State administration.
A highly competitive and challenging area, it involves a variety of jobs in different departments.
Compared to private sector 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.
The Challenge
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.
