About Civil Services


The Indian Civil Service (ICS), which after 1886 was officially called the Imperial Civil Service and was also known as the British India Civil Service, was the élite higher civil service of the Government of India in the period of the British Raj. Its members were appointed under Section XXXII of the Government of India Act, 1858 of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
At first almost all the top 1000 officials were British, and were educated in the best British schools. By 1914 5% were Indian. In 1942 there were 597 Indians and 588 British; most of the latter left at the time of independence.

Now, The Indian Civil Service serves as the backbone of India and carries great respect and responsibilities. India's best brains vie for entry into the Indian Civil Services as officers. Even though corporate jobs may offer the best of salaries and perks, a majority of youngsters and their parents still crave entry to the prestigious Indian Civil Services held by the UPSC. The very fact that a big share of every year's top posts in the civil services exams are bagged by professionals from various streams, shows that the IAS is still the dream job for many.
