Hello Miss Anurima, thanks for your visit on the blog and kind words about it...Regarding your query,a lot of candidates applies for EOL in December specially in NADT and from last year in NACEN,Faridabad as well....You need not take EOL if you are not planning to appear in CSE-2011....thus you can continue after December in your parent academy...The concept of EOL was introduced because candidates who wish to appear again in CSE, they can have full time for preparation...If they continue with the current job then preparation will hamper as well as they will not be able to focus on training..thus it will be wastage of government money in terms of salary.....Regarding your other query, if you get call for interview for CSE-2010, you will get 2 to 3 days leave for interview....further query is welcome...keep blogging..

Reply to Miss/Mr Mission

Hello Miss/Mr Mission, thanks for your visit on the blog....Regarding the strategy for CSE-2011 Pre...as I have already written on this topic earlier, since nobody known about the exact pattern of GS in CSE-2011 Pre, you should wait for the notification for this exam by UPSC....Till that time, you must prepare the GS on conventional lines...In any case, some features of the present GS paper will remain in the new pattern too....Thus ,it is advisable to not to go from pillar to post and concentrate on the conventional part of GS....But, at this time you must focus on mains preparation as there is no change in mains pattern....After the notification in Dec-2010, you can start for prelims....You can join coaching for GS if you think that you can't prepare on your own....Some good institutes are :
[1] Vaji Ram & Ravi
[2] ALS
[3] Dhyeay IAS
However, you must go and see yourself about the veracity of these coaching institutes.....further query is welcome...keep blogging...

Hello Miss/Mr Anonymous, thanks for your visit on the blog...Regarding your query about IRS[C&CE], you rightly said that IRS[C&CE] is an uniform service...Officials who are posted for preventive work [e.g. anti-evasion, anti-smuggling etc] are given revolvers, pistols,etc...For your information, Customs department has very modern weaponry in its command which includes even machine guns at few locations...But, for general duty, IRS officer doesn't requires any weapon as such......further query is welcome....keep blogging..

Hi All CS(P) 2010 candidates
This year GS paper was slightly difficult and almost all the optionals in social sciences were tough. So in subjects like History, Public admn, Geography, economics, Pol Sc etc. as I guess there would be unexpected fall in the cut off percentile this year. There are many more vacancies than last year. So even if you are getting 60 in optional and 50 in GS or 66 in optional and 35 in GS or a total of 200 with a min 30 in GS do not lose hope. I see there is enough chances this year for you guys.
best wishes
