I choose IFS over IAS because I am obsessed with geopolitics secondly I am good at picking up new languages I already speak 8 fluently. The most important thing is that if you are a honest individual with lot of self respect then IAS will be extremely hard for you because it's almost impossible to work because of corruption let's be honest here. IFS officer can work without any hesitation and literally no one can interfere with your work.

[@namanshrivastava]

I was always interested in history, political theory, philosophy, law, international idiosyncracies, etc, and I have always possessed a knack for general knowledge. I decided on the IFS in the middle of the 11th grade itself at the suggestion of my father, because as soon as the words "aap IFS kar sakte ho" left his mouth something clicked, and everything fell into place. Before that point I was extremely perplexed as to what I should do as a career because I wasn't very aware of the civil service and nothing else ticked all my conditions for a job; until, of course the IFS rolled around my brain and it just filled everything I wanted in an occupation, and then some. I can vividly remember how sheerly excited i was at the prospect. I am now aiming for it as I enter college this year, and I hope I get the chance to serve my great nation 🤗

Hey! Lovely presentation I'm introverted to the core and IFS is my top priority. But when you mentioned you've to give 38+ years in the career, I've to rethink my decision.

[@sumitsingh7835]

The real reason majority aspirants put IAS as their first preference is that senior IAS officers remain closest to the power corridors and if we exclude departments belonging specifically to IPS,IRS then the rest is dominated by IAS officers. Pay, perks are also very unifrom in the IAS, fastest promotions since there are so many redundant posts in states and union or so many departments/districts in Indian States, State govts. already sent a request to Union Govt for IAS officers be deputed in respective states and that states are functioning with 50,40,60 percent of sanctioned strength for IAS officers in States. Work pressure is less, administrative and other powers are vested in them, esp. when they are serving in districts postings, they are also given law and order powers(Policing), judiciary powers,Revenue under IPC,CrPC and State Police Acts and other state specific(dealing with local subjects ) Acts. As I mentioned above that IAS remains the closest to the power corridors, they get in close contact of Union Ministers since they serve at secretarial level including Principal Secretary to PM,Advisers to PM, Chief Secretaries of State( who are like right hand of CM) Some choose IAS for they are well aware of the hierarchies of Civil Services and some choose IAS for it is an tacit understanding that this service is best and for toppers only.

[@namanshrivastava]

Thanks for your detailed comment,Sumit! Very helpful!

[@chaudharyshubhambaliyan4613]

Work pressure is less??I have always been hearing about how hectic IAS job is and the work pressure is immense

[@khalnayak4060]

So, u mean these ias, ifs service are only for Toppers?

[@davidbeckham9364]

What about political pressure?

[@BrijeshSharma-m1d]

And the power corridor can be malicious too when the government changes. The state vs centre politics can really haunt IAS. It's not easy to maintain power corridors and many don't get what they want from the service

[@debu98]

I am a Drishti's Student.. And have never associated myself with Vikas sir's ideology or view about Civil services. The reason why IFS Is my first priority is that it allows you to bring the change that is happening in so called developed world to your country and gives you the opportunity to portray a positive image of your country at world stage.. 3rd reason is quite selfish! Being a marathon runner, I want to run in Boston Marathon, NYC marathon, London marathon, Munich marathon and many more!Well, That would Depend on my posting!😅 I Hope I will clear it some day!

[@pawanmishra1999]

Dear Naman Sir, I think the preference ias over ifs (by Dr Vikas Sir) is because of the language. As you might be knowing he is having a student from Hindi Medium Base, who are not good in English language.

[@HarshKumar-hg4wq]

yes and most of the people are not interested in Foreign policies, most of them want to serve in INDIA

I think Vikas divyakirti was talking about Hindi medium aspirants. Because they have to struggle while communicating with foreigners. And learning a new language is another problem.

Hi Naman, we had a conversation before as well in the youtube comments and you were kind enough to respond briefly. Since that day, I am seriously planning to get into CGI for 2023 and transition my career into public policy/consulting (preferably the former where I could make a difference in people's life). However, I would just need a consultation or a conversation with you or any of the POC before stepping into this path. Is there a possibility for the same?

[@namanshrivastava]

Hi Jerin, Do send in your queries here. All our resources are allocated to those who are already part of the community. Unlike the quintessential "ed-tech" stalwarts we don't have an extensive support/marketing staff

[@God_Father72]

Okay Sure Naman! I have already done R&D about GGI to an extent and also had a chance to gain insights from you on LinkedIn. I want to work for a public organization most preferably UN or its subsidaries, Red Cross and so on. Let's say I take a revelant course & complete it, what would be the scenario post that? I know for a fact that we get an awesome opportunity of networking here & I believe learning comes from top notch faculties. However, is there a placement that happens or an alumni referral or something else. I wanted some insights about post course completion? Requesting a little clarity.

[@namanshrivastava]

@@God_Father72 We do have collaborations and formal partnerships. As of now, UN is not one of our partners. There are scholars from GGI who got into World Bank, and UNDP after the program - but they networked their way on their own. They connected with the speakers at GGI - who represented those organizations for referrals. Having said this, I'm vehemently opposed to the culture of placement (prevalent in India). This nonsense doesn't exist anywhere else in the world
