Hello Miss Ashima Batra, thanks for your visit on the blog and congrats on your grand success in CSE-2008 and CSE-2009[pre]....I can understand your fear...as far as I have the information, It is totally a rumour..so don't heed it....Dopt is already facing a huge crisis to accommodate and provide FC to more then 400 candidates at a time....The information which I received about the mandatory clause of FC is...earlier in some services, FC was not mandatory that means If you once miss the FC, you need not attend it afterwards..but from this year onwards, every service has made it mandatory to attend FC once in the whole career...so It means that you need not attend FC this year specifically but you have to attend it afterwards......so Now,I think you need not worry about any thing and concentrate on your preparation for mains.....good luck...further query is welcome....keep blogging......

Hello Mr/Miss Anonymous,thanks for your visit on the blog and kind words about it.....It is really painful to not to receive any official communication from Dopt regarding FC even after so many days....but this is how Indian bureaucracy works.....Now, It will be a moral duty of newly recruited bureaucrat to make things all right...Any way regarding your query, most probably this year IAS,IPS and IFS [foreign service] candidates will undergo FC at LBSNAA and rest of the candidates [including Indian Forest Service] will go to MCR HRD...though unofficial sources suggested the trifurcation of FC due to reluctance of MCR HRD to host FC for more than 200 candidates....So roughly you can guess your place of FC according to rank and probable service and book the tickets accordingly....Enjoy the FC...good luck...further query is welcome...keep blogging....
