Through the Civil Services Examination, candidates are recruited into several prestigious services including the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS), Indian Revenue Service (IRS) and other Group A and Group B central services.
Service-wise vacancy distribution for the examination includes 180 posts in the IAS, 55 in the IFS and 150 in the IPS. In addition, 507 vacancies have been allocated for various Group ‘A’ central services and 195 for Group ‘B’ services.
The Civil Services Examination is widely regarded as one of the most competitive examinations in the country. Every year, lakhs of candidates appear for the exam, but only a small number succeed after clearing its three stages.

The commission has said that the marksheets of all candidates will be uploaded to its website within 15 days of the declaration of the final result. These will remain available online for 30 days.
Successful candidates will now be allocated services based on their rank, category and service preferences.
