Dear friend ..


The syllabus for IAS exam is



The scope of studying IAS is very vast...you will have lots of respect honour,and power in your hand...

FUNCTIONAL LEVELS

Except for the post of Union Cabinet Secretary, the Government of India hierarchy is common to all services. The scales are:

Junior Scale Officers

Begin their careers with a two-year probationary period. This is spent partly in training, after which they may be posted at the state secretariat; as field officers; or a District Magistrate’s office. Junior scale officers in the position of Sub-Magistrate are given mainly regulatory duties, like law and order, enforcement of rules, and general administration, including the supervision of development work.

Senior Scale

Starts at Under Secretary level and includes District Magistrates, Directors of public enterprises and Directors of government departments. Within this scale are:

· Junior Administrative Grade-Deputy Secretary
· Selection Grade-Director

Both these positions hold similar responsibilities, and are at par with each other.

Super Time Scale

Joint Secretary is the highest among Government of India administrative posts. Above this position come the policy makers. In the Central Services, this scale is sometimes titled the Senior Administrative Grade.

Additional Secretary

The work undertaken by an Additional Secretary is similar to that of a Secretary though the level of
responsibility is lower.

Secretary

Secretaries head government departments and are concerned with planning in their particular areas. Some appointments such as finance and planning are considered more prestigious than others, and are therefore at par with the post of Additional Chief Secretary. Another title for this level is Principal Secretary.

Chief Secretary

The top ranking civil servant in any state-is responsible for everything that happens in the state as far as duties assigned to state governments are concerned.

Cabinet Secretary

It is the highest post at the center.

i hope this sites will help you to guide:

hi friend,

It is true that the only way to be collector is to crack IAS exam. And it is also a good decision which has been taken by in pre-final year.
Actually from now IAS exam is divided into three new steps:
I. Prelim exam : which consists of two papes. Paper one related to general science/knowledge/indian history and india's political and geographical points.
Paper two is related to Quantitative analysis, verbal-reasoning in english language etc.
II. Main exam : You have to select an optional subject along with the two language subjects eg: hindi and english.
III. Interview: It is personal type of interview, not a group interview.

You need to crack the upsc exam for it and face the interview . If you suceed in these then you can be a collector . But remember the collector post is not easy so you need to work very hard.

For an IAS exam you have to appear for the UPSC civil service exam.the exam will be in three stages i.e priliminary,main & interview.For the syllabus you can take the help of the website and download it.The things you should follow to become an IAS are-
1. firstly make your personality good looking.
2. physical fitness is must.
3. good english speaking
4. Be a good citizen

Hi,
