Reply to Mr Manish

Hello Mr Manish, thanks for your visit on the blog....Regarding Law as an optional in CSE, It is a good optional with huge scoring potential....Zoology is now a days down in terms of scoring...But you can see both the extreme....some gets high marks in law while some got very poor marks in law also..Same is the case with other science optional...Thus, you should not worry about the score..You must check out your interest in the particular optional...if you have deep interest in law as well as in Zoology, you can score very high marks in both the optional...Some Aspirants got very good rank from these optionals e.g. Miss Kinjal Singh [AIR-25, CSE-2007].....all the best....further query is welcome..keep blogging...

Hello Miss/Mr Anonymous, thanks for your visit on the blog...Regarding your query, Central Services such as IRS[C&CE] or IRS[IT] have all the facilities which are being given to all Group-A officers e.g. Vehicle, dwellings,etc....But it depends on your place of postings..If you are in metro cities you may not get vehicle or proper house...It will take some time to get all this at bigger places depending on the availability...But this is the case with All India Services also e.g. IAS, IPS...They too have to stay sometimes in rented accommodation due to non availability of houses.....Regarding IRTS, they have good accommodation facilities at all the places near by railway stations but don't have much vehicle facilities...Even it is not required in IRTS as they live near to their offices....So don't worry about it...These are sundry things.....further query is welcome...keep blogging..

Hello Miss/Mr Anonymous, thanks for your visit on the blog...congratulations on your getting in to IRS[IT]....regarding your query, the salary during foundation course is Rs-21000/- only...from this ,mess dues and hostel charges will be deducted....this amount is the stipend only....the rest of the amount you will get when you will join NADT i.e. your parent academy [approx Rs 40,000/- only in bulk]....In your academy ,during entire training, you will get full salary i.e Rs-27000/- only with some increments along with DA bonus in between....Thus it depends on your life style..how much you want to spend which will decide whether you require money from parents or your salary will be sufficient...further query is welcome..keep blogging..

Reply to Mr Arun

Hello Mr Arun, thanks for your visit on the blog ...Congratulations on your grand success in CSE-2009...Regarding your query, there is no problem in second medical board....You will receive your letter from DoPt very soon regarding the date and time where you can appear for medical test...But for that You have to send Rs-100/- demand draft from any nationalised bank [just check out the amount..It is approx 100/-]..All the details will be available on DoPt website also with in few days...The final report and service allocation will come in the month of July only...Thus you can approximately calculate your service according to your rank and accordingly apply for the resignation from your previous job because you will not get much time afterwards as Foundation Course[FC] will commence from last week of August or 1st September...In case you again disqualified in colour blindness test then you will be debarred from IPS,IRTS and RPF only....thus not much problem....enjoy the best moments of your life....further query is welcome..keep blogging...

Reply to Miss/Mr Anonymous

Hello Miss/Mr Anonymous, thanks for your visit on the blog and kind words about it...Regarding your query, Tehsildar is a generalist civil servant....He is engaged in general administration while ETO [Excise & Taxation officer] is a specialist civil servant where he/she will engaged in various types of tax collection only....Thus it's scope is quite narrow...Sincle clientele base of both the services is different, you can't say which one is good or bad...It depends on you...If you are good in commerce, you can go for tax service..IF you like more people to people contact, you can choose Tehsildar....However, you can ask for promotional avenues in each of these services from your seniors...you must choose those services where promotional avenues are more.....further query is welcome..keep blogging...

Reply to Mr Rajesh

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...

Reply to Miss/Mr Anonymous

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...
