Hello Mr Murty, thanks for your visit on the blog...Regarding your query about aptitude test, I have already written several times on it...Since nobody knows about the exact nature of it so least say is better...you must wait for notification...as you have enough years, you must focus on your mains part as there are no changes proposed so far in mains exam...prelims you can prepare within 3 months...right now you must decide two optionals and start preparing for the mains exam....further query is welcome..keep blogging..

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

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..
