Founded in 1858 as the Imperial Civil Service (or ICS) and recognized as the Indian Administrative Service on 26th January, 1950, IAS is considered as the most esteemed and the toughest examination in India. Every year, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) conducts this exam to shortlist eligible candidates for more than twenty services, including IAS, IPS, IFS, etc., and every year lakhs of students register and appear for IAS in the hope of a bright future ahead.
That’s the question that arises in every aspirants mind before they choose a particular field as a career option. So, why should one go and pursue for the civil services? Is it because, as the permanent bureaucracy, it is one of the most prestigious positions in India? Or is it because it forms an executive branch in the government of India? Or is it simply because it is their parents’ dream?
An IAS officer is considered as the torch bearer in a government. It’s a post powerful enough of bringing a change. Being an IAS officer gives one an opportunity to do things one earnestly feels is necessary to bring a positive change for all. In addition, IAS is one of the best career options with challenging job functions and perks of office coming along with. So, be it the upliftment of humanity or for personal betterment or for your near and dear ones, now you have an objective to fulfill as you pursue for this prestigious career option.
