Regarding the FC exemption...Reply to Miss/Mr Anonymous

Hello Miss/Mr Anonymous, thanks for your visit on the blog and congrats for your success in CSE...Regarding your query, I have already written in my previous blogs that you should not worry about it, if you have applied it on DoPT for exemption then just relaxed...your name may not reflect on exemption list on MCRHRD list....prepare well for mains...good luck....further query is welcome...keep blogging.....

Reply to Mr Kamlesh

Hello Mr Kamlesh, thanks for your visit on the blog....Regarding your query, some of the candidates may not be able to clear in 1st medical test thus DoPt must have blocked their allocation... As soon as they will get the clearance from medical board they will be allotted to their respective services....this may be the reason behind the remaining seats in IAS on DoPt website...Regarding the category on the allocation list on DoPT, the reflected category means that whether a particular candidate got any benefit under the reflected category...e.g. if a OBC candidate name reflected as general candidate than it means, he/she got the allocation in general category despite being an OBC candidate....further query is welcome....keep blogging....

Reply to Mr Nitin

Hello Mr Nitin, thanks for your visit on the blog....Congratulations on your grand success in CSE-09....Regarding your query, I had a discussion with a guy in DoPT on this issue, he told that you have to join FC...Still, you can contact to DoPT and some senior officials there regarding this matter....but one thing is sure, if you are finally upgraded to IFS in between, you will not be allowed to write CSE mains by UPSC and even if you appeared, your result will not be declared by UPSC...It has happened earlier also....further query is welcome..keep blogging..

Regarding FC exemption...Reply to All

Hello All successful candidates of CSE-2009...Congrats for the grand success in CSE and thanks for your visit on the blog...I am getting numerous mails regarding FC...The problems are numerous..I have classified them in few categories and replying the same:
[1] For those who want to join FC but not received any communication from DoPT: No need to worry about it...You can check out your name on DoPt website and just join the allotted academy with descriptive rolls filled. Even if you didn't receive descriptive rolls from the respective academy, you can download them from the respective academy website..If website download is not working you can even join the academy without them as you will get these rolls in the academy. So, no problem at all..just book your seat and join the big fun waiting you.
[2] For those who want to take exemption from FC:
You can apply for the exemption online on the DoPT website mentioning your roll no of CSE-2010..This will be more than enough...If still, your soul doesn't get satisfaction then you can write a simple letter to DoPT mentioning your roll no of CSE-2010 and intention to take exemption from FC...you need not send any application to the respective academy regarding FC exemption...It may take some time for DoPT to update your name in the FC exemption list..But you should not worry about it and focus on your mains preparation. You should not go for a drive to check whether you are exempted from FC or not..immediate acknowledgement may not be given.
[3] Regarding letter from Parent department:
The letter from your respective service parent department will be sent in the month of November/December only after final updation of the services by DoPT...till that time you all are under the control of DoPT...after the final allocation of services [upgradation of provisionally allocation of services], your file will move to your respective departments and then you will get a formal letter from the training academy and appointment letter from your respective ministry...so have some patience and enjoy the time.
You should remember one thing that now you have been selected by UPSC and approved by DoPT...you will be taken care by them now onwards...So, just enjoy and focus on FC or mains preparation...good luck.

Reply to Mr Ajay Chikara

Hello Mr Ajay Chikara, thanks for your visit on the blog and kind words about it...Sorry for the delayed reply...Congratulations on your success in CSE....Regarding your query, I will reply one by one:
[1] The temporary service allocation means your service can be updated to your higher preferences in the month of December. It doesn't have any relation with your wrong category status in your UPSC mains form. So be relaxed about it.
[2] You can check your service allocation on DoPT website..If OBC is mentioned against your name and service allocation, then you got the benefit otherwise not.
[3] You can't change your category status in between the process of exam or service allocation.
[4] You can view the questions put by blog readers in the left side column of the blog where recent comments are coming.

Regarding inter batch seniority...Reply to Miss/Mr Anonymous

Hello Miss/Mr Anonymous, thanks for your visit on the blog ...Regarding the reserve list, it is true that inter batch seniority will be maintained...It will be done as follows..All the reserve list candidates will undergo training at their respective Academy...After that they will be posted in a same pay scale as their original batch mates and probably at the same senior post [not confirmed] with few months of junior posts...It has happened with some railway services candidates few years back....Thus it may happened that you will work with your juniors but drawing different salary....But you will not get any accumulated salary for this period i.e. from 2006 [your CSE year]to 2010...Further query is welcome..keep blogging..

Regarding NACEN....Reply to Mr Kushagra

Hello Mr Kushagra, thanks for your visit on the blog....Congratulations on your grand success in CSE...Regarding your query, I will reply one by one:
[1] Since, this year your batch size is huge, you may be trained at three places Faridabad,Mumbai and Chennai [not confirmed]....NACEN Faridabad has few marriage accommodation but Mumbai and Chennai don't have it...So you have to wait till the final allocation of place to you for your departmental training.If you will be at Faridabad, you can get family accommodation with in a week time.
[2] The gap between FC and Departmental training is generally 1 week only maximum. It may be lesser also.
[3] You are entitled for AC two tier or economy class air fare [from AIR India only]...but I am not sure whether you Will get this to join FC...after FC, you will full entitlement to join your academy.

Regarding property returns....Reply to Miss/Mr Anonymous

Hello Miss/Mr Anonymous, thanks for your visit on the blog....Regarding your query...Movable property as mentioned in the form means jewellery, cash balance,etc and immovable property means land,house,etc....The intention behind such declaration before joining the service is to keep track on your personal wealth after joining service....You need to declare your movable and immovable assets every year to the department which you are going to join....Government think that by such declaration, they can curb corruption as you have to declare your source of income if you add any new assets in your name...If you will not be able to explain the source you may fall in to trouble...Regarding veracity of the declaration, as such in the beginning there will not be any fact finding, but you can't negate such verification in case of exponential declaration of assets owing to your socio-economic background...you may be kept under watch if your declaration are exceptionally unique...thus be careful and relax also as in the beginning of the service, there is no tension on this point but after joining service you will have to be a bit careful...further query is welcome...keep blogging..

Reply to Mr Don Anon

Hello Mr Don Anon, thanks for your visit on the blog....Regarding your query, I didn't come across any person so far who faced any problem regarding this matter...It is better that you just intimate your organisation about appearing in CSE exam...because, if your dept later on come to know about it and if they send report or fax to UPSC than you may face some problem as an Group A officer because providing wrong information is a crime to Group A officer under conduct rules....It is your mis conception that your organisation will delay your promotion or you will undergo any harassment in your organisation if you did not clear in UPSC....if it is a govt organisation, you need not worry about it as they can't create any problem...I have several friends in civil services who worked in DRDO,ISRO,NTPC,etc who declares and later on in that attempt they didn't qualify in CSE but never had any problem and when they got selected in next attempt they came out with flying colours with all promotion benefits, etc..further query is welcome....keep blogging...

IAS Vs IRS[C&CE]...Reply to Miss/Mr Anonymous

Hello Miss/Mr Anonymous, thanks for your visit on the blog...Regarding IAS Vs IRS[C&CE]...there is no comparison between IAS and IRS[C&CE] as the area of work is entirely different...Beacon light is a position specific..There are several posts where even IAS is not entitled for beacon..same is the case for IRS[C&CE]...as an Asstt Commissioner, you are not officially entitled for beacon light but We generally use it...If you are in anti-evasion wing, you can officially have beacon light...So, light is not a big factor in deciding the things..once you sit inside the vehicle, you can't see the beacon light and in fact after some time it doesn't matter whether you have light or not on your vehicle..your work speaks louder than beacon lights...I know several officers who don't prefer beacon light vehicle even they are entitled for it....your choice should be based on your area of interest and your intention...I have written several blogs on this matter...You can earn good name only when you love and enjoy your work be in IAS or IRS[C&CE]..of course working conditions are much better in IRS[C&CE] as compared to IAS and of course it is specialised service..you have peaceful Saturday and Sundays which is not possible in IAS..thus choice is yours...further query is welcome...keep blogging...

Regarding Pub Ad and Geography..Reply to Miss Jayashree

Hello Miss Jayashree, thanks for your visit on the blog...Regarding the E-mail Id and name of the books read by Mr K. Mishra whose marks are available on the blog, I want to clarify that We don't have any contact with the said candidate..We have published the marks because somebody asked his marks and we were able to fetch the mark sheet from the UPSC server...Thus we don't know who is he and what all books he read.
Besides, regarding your other query, Yes, I had Pub Ad and Geography as an optionals....ALS printed notes are quite comprehensive..you can reply on them..You should refer other books for diagrams and any uncovered topic in the books only..If possible you can get Mr Alok Ranjan's geography class notes..These will be sufficient...Regarding Pub Ad, Fadia and Sadana are very good books...if you are able to get the concept from these books, it will be suffice....Mohit Bhattachaya is a good book in the sense that it will give you the idea of writing in short about all the things..It's language is good and gives very new ideas which can be incorporated in the answers. Thus after completing Sadana or fadia, you can just go through MB, it will serve your purpose...further query is welcome...keep blogging..
