The Indian Administrative Service (IAS) is the administrative arm of the All India Services of the Government of India. The IAS is one of the most prestigious and sought-after civil services in India. IAS officers hold key positions in the administration of the country, including district magistrates, commissioners, and secretaries.
To become an IAS officer, one must pass the Civil Services Examination (CSE), conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). The CSE is a highly competitive examination, with only a few thousand candidates selected each year.
