Hello Mr Rajesh, thanks for your visit on the blog....I have written extensively on the scope of IRS[C&CE] after GST...still, the scope will further increase by many fold as number of accessee will be multiplied...So far IRS[C&CE] had the say till manufacturing stage only, after GST, they will have the say in numerous state taxes e.g entertainment,sales tax [as they all be included in GST] etc...The state commercial dept will also survive but centre will always be ahead of them.....Regarding IRS[IT], after direct tax code they will loose their discretionary powers...Besides, this job is clerical in nature...if you have commerce back ground or CA then you can survive better....apart from it, the service conditions of IRS[C&CE] are much better than IRS[IT]....the only advantage in IRS[IT] is their greater visibility on common people life as most of us are paying income tax but the maximum revenue of IT dept comes from industry as corporate tax and not from individual income tax.....this is true to IRS[C&CE] as well....
See, I want to tell you one thing, all the services under central government or state government are facing changes due to changes in the milieu, growth of democracy, education and awareness among the masses...Thus, We should change our mindset too...We can't think the golden era of civil services during British...This will no more...We must accept the reality that we are working in a democratic set up now where civil services is the most pious job one can fortunate to have the opportunity to perform.
Regarding the facility to probationers, you have very good facilities along with intensive travelling by Air India across the country...after posting, you have all facility entitled to Group 'A' officer e.g house, vehicle, etc.....but these facilities will of course will not be comparable to IAS, IPS or IFS...... so I can firmly say that your decision is right...further query is welcome...keep blogging...

Hello Miss/Mr Anonymous, thanks for your visit on the blog...First of all congratulations on your grand success in CSE-2009 as well as in IFS exam....Regarding your query, IRS[C&CE] is much better than IFS and IRS[IT] in all terms e.g. Power, prestige, working conditions, perks etc....As I have already posted some write ups on IRS[C&CE] Vs IRS[IT]...ultimately It depends on individual choice...IFoS is an All India Service where you will be allotted single state to work in through out your career except some years on deputation...Now A Days All India services requires too much political connections to survive peacefully and successfully....Besides, they are suffering from huge political interference too...In IRS, you don't have these problems...thus you can decide....However, since you have some more attempts, you can always appear for IAS or IPS.....Regarding the foundation course, so far I know, it is going to be mandatory but it may change at the last moment as it happened last year...good luck...further query is welcome..keep blogging...

Regarding the reserve list....Reply to Mr Manish

Hello Mr Manish, thanks for your visit on the blog....Regarding your query, since Supreme Court has come out with the verdict in the matter of Rule-16[2] of civil services....the reserve list is pending from probably year 2005....So, I believe UPSC will start from year 2005 to clear the backlog as soon as possible...Thus, I see very limited possibility that the reserve list of CSE-2009 will come before CSE-pre 2010....Further query is welcome..keep blogging...

Reply to Mr Ashu

Hello Mr Ashu, thanks for your visit on the blog and kind words about it...Regarding your query, UPSC probably prepare the final list according to the total marks obtained in mains exam....after this list, they apply reservation and accordingly candidates are taken out from the respective category list...The same procedure they follow after addition of interview marks...Since, competition is huge now a days, there is no much difference as such among the different category candidates...There have been some incidences e.g. in Rajasthan PCS, where the cut off of OBC category was higher then general category in one year....However, this is the prudent guess only, Nobody knows exactly, how UPSC works.....further query is welcome...keep blogging...
