NEW SCHEME OF EXAMINATION FOR INDIAN FOREST SERVICE EXAMINATION, 2013
The salient features of the scheme are as under:-
(ii) Notification of Indian Forest Service Examination will be done simultaneously with
the Civil Services Examination. The application form will be called as Combined
Online application Form for Civil Services and Indian Forest Service Examinations. In the notifications for both Indian Forest Service Examination as well as Civil Services Examination, candidates will be asked to exercise their option to either choose Civil Services or Indian Forest Service or both, as per their eligibility conditions.
(iii) There will be no change in the eligibility of the candidates in the Indian Forest
Service Examination.
(iv) The candidates who will be applying for Indian Forest Service, Civil Services or
both will be asked to appear in the Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination which
will be a Screening Test for short-listing the candidates for Indian Forest Service
and Civil Services (Main) Examinations. Otherwise these two examinations will be
separate in all respects.
(v) Based on the performance of the candidates in the CS(P) Examination, the
candidates for the Indian Forest Service as well as the Civil Services examinations,
will be short-listed separately for the IFS(Main) as well as the Civil Services (Main)
Examination. The same principle of short listing 12 to 13 times the number of posts
could be used at this stage. However, the criteria for selection of candidates for
Civil Services (Main) Examination and Indian Forest Service (Main) Examination
will be different – based on relevant functional matrices. The Indian Forest Service
(Main) Examination and the Civil Services (Main) Examination could then be
conducted on different dates in order to accommodate candidates who may be
short-listed separately for both the examinations. The interviews and merit list for
both these examinations could be drawn up separately.
