The last British [17][18] all over the country. ” appointments to the ICS were made in 1942. — Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in Constituent Assembly discussing the role ofAll India With the passing of the Government of India Act, 1919, the Imperial Services.[14][15][16] Services headed by the Secretary of State for India, was split into two – All India Services and Central Services.[19] At the time of the partition of India and the departure of the British in 1947, the Imperial Civil Service was divided between the new Dominions of India and Pakistan. The part which went to India was named the Indian Administrative Service, while the part that went to Pakistan was named the Central Superior Services of Pakistan. The modern Indian Administrative Service was created under the Article 312(2) in part XIV of the Constitution of India.[5] Recruitment There are three modes of recruitment into the Indian Administrative Service. IAS officers are recruited from the Civil Services Examination, which are conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).[2] Officers selected from the Civil Services Examination are called direct recruits. Some IAS officers are also promoted from the State Civil Services,[2] and, in some cases, selected from non-state civil service.[2] The ratio between the direct recruits and the promotees is fixed at 2:1. All IAS officers. Regardless of the mode of entry, are appointed by the President of India.[5] Unlike candidates appointed to other civil services, a candidate, once appointed to the Indian Administrative Service, is rendered ineligible to reappear in the Civil Services Examination,[3] this is because, before 1979, a candidate had to give to give two additional papers to be eligible for Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and Indian Foreign Service (IFS). But even after the Civil Services Examination was made common, the state of affairs did not change, and IAS and IFS retained their edge.[20][21] After the selection process, the successful candidates undergo training at Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand. State Cadres Cadre Allocation Policy The Union Government announced a new cadre allocation policy for the All India Services in August Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration is the 2017, touting it as a policy to ensure national staff training college of IAS. integration of the bureaucracy as officers and ensure All-India character of the services. Under the new policy, the existing 26 cadres have been divided into five zones in the new policy by the Department of Personnel and Training of Government of India.[22][23][24][25][26][27][28] Under the new policy, a candidate has to first give his/her choice in the descending order of preference from amongst the various Zones.[28] Subsequently, the candidate has to indicate one preference of cadre from each preferred zone.[28] The candidate indicates his second cadre preference for every preferred zone subsequently. The process continues till a preference for all the cadres is indicated by the candidate.[28] The preference for the zones/cadres remains in the same order and no change is permitted.[28] Officers continue to work in the cadre they are allotted or were deputed to the Government of India.[6] Zones under the new Cadre Allocation Policy Zone States Zone- AGMUT (Arunachal Pradesh-Goa-Mizoram and Union Territories), Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, I Punjab, Rajasthan and Haryana. Zone- Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and Odisha. II Zone- Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. III Zone- West Bengal, Sikkim, Assam-Meghalaya, Manipur, Tripura and Nagaland. IV Zone- Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. V Old Cadre Allocation Policies Till 2008 there was no system of preference of state cadre by the candidates; the candidates, if not placed in the insider vacancy of their home states, were allotted to different states in alphabetic order of the roster, beginning with the letters A, H, M, T for that particular year. For example, if in a particular year the roster begins from 'A', which means the first candidate on the roster will go to the Andhra Pradesh state cadre of IAS, the next one to Bihar, and subsequently to Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and so on in alphabetical order.[29] The next year the roster starts from 'H', for either Haryana or Himachal Pradesh (if it has started from Haryana on the previous occasion when it all started from 'H', then this time it would start from Himachal Pradesh). This highly intricate system, in vogue since the mid-1980s, had ensured that officers from different states are placed all over India. The system of permanent State cadres has also resulted in wide disparities in the kind of professional exposure for officers, when we compare officers in small and big and also developed and backward states.[29] Changes of state cadre is permitted on grounds of marriage to an All India Service officer of another state cadre or under other exceptional circumstances.
