Yes... The fact that prelims 2022 is just 4 months away makes it even more difficult… and especially if the primary
focus is Civils, I think I will have to skip ifs mains this year… better be focusing on civils optional for next year…

IFS mains will end on 6th march…and prelims is scheduled on 5th june… not even 3 months…

IMHO, looking at the cost benefit, its better to stick to the Civils 2022 preparation (both pre and mains, yes mains is not far too!!! 😰🤒)…

Please don't. IFoS to some extent still remaims a low hanging fruit. All these people that you see topping the exam , they were just like you, often in a dilemma like you and have seen them get top ranks including Rank 1. It's a very good career and not in any way less that the allied services. I mean peope in IFS dont wish ki kaash AFHQ ya IIS mil jata.

Don't ignore it. Not one bit. You will thank me later. This year brilliant civils kids like Gurharsh and Divya from TN jave gotten top 10 ranks. One of them dropped only for IFS whereas the other cleared with CS Mains burden.

Another kid from Bihar , Nitish i guess was his name, focussed only on IFS and has some Rank 43 or something. IFS is a good service and is doable in two months.

If any of you need help or inputs i can arrange a webinar with some IFS selected folks. Most of them are Civils people only. Hardly 10% are actual PUSA students.

There are people i know who read from Wikipedia and made notes and now they are the topper notes.


You just have to not give up despite Mains fatigue. Don't wanna sound like daddy or neighbourhood uncle, but some things importance you only see when you missed the opportunity to gran them while you still could.

If you are selected for IFS Mains, under no circumstance miss it.

AFAIK, the rank of IFS is equivalent to IAS and when the DM of a district goes on leave, it is the IFS officer who presides over the meetings. Am I correct?

@AureliusM Don't know about this but IFS is one of the 3 AIS (apart from IAS, IPS). No one would generally choose any service apart from IAS, IPS, Foreign Service or to some extent IRS over IFS. Even IRS vs IFS is tilted in favour of IFS for many (especially if one gets a good cadre). Further, IFS is a very powerful service in some cadres like MP, Chhatisgarh etc.

Have updated Guide for IFoS here. Was written by Vipul AKA VIP on the Forum. These days people make videos, everyone has left writing. So forumites, you are the last bunch of people actually creating written content. The world has moved to Video.
