[@अमनझा-न3ज]

She said , "for example , if I take French..!!" She actually took French and now posted in Indian Embassy Antananarivo , Madagascar ( French speaking nation )

[@shiveshraj4976]

I am willing to start preparation for upsc, so I am roaming about different civil services that upsc provide and for me IFS tops the list, thanks for providing such a great overview of the roles and responsibilities of an IFS officer. It's just boost my dream to be an IFS officer. Thanks a lot Wish you a great luck in future hope to see you soon as colleague.

[@chetnasahu6593]

I got selected in IFS😊

[@salsa_suman]

Congratulations mam ! I just wanted to ask that is IFS given a/c to rank or our preference . Please clear this doubt.

[@namratalondhe2587]

Congratulations

[@ahirjay19]

@Sushanta Pradhan why IAS when you can get ifs!?

[@ahirjay19]

@Sushanta Pradhan not really dear, why just to work for only one District when you can represent billions of Indians and represent your country, develop policies that will have impact on billions of people.

[@ahirjay19]

@Sushanta Pradhan ^^, IFS can become cabinet secretary in Ministry of External affairs but IAS can not become cabinet secretary in MEA.. In IFS you get to meet head of the states, ambassador have lot more authority then you think. After all an IFS is walking embodiment of India. When he/she talks, its India talking. Whatever he/she does, its India's action. Ambassador has the full power to declare war on any country, if he/she declares it, in news you would see India declared war on xyz nation... Of course I'm not trying to brag and I intend to keep our debate healthy but just making sure you know what IFS means

[@arpitadeb4504]

seeing myself in your position one day, with the grace of God and sheer hardwork, is a dream, which i wish to bring into reality very soon!

[@christophertoppo]

Hi Mani, Congratulations on your exciting careers as an IFS officer trainee. Thanks for posting your journey till date and opening the gate for future IFS aspirants on the life of a foreign diplomat. Just a quick question. Does IFS allow spouses to stay with the IFS selected candidates during the training period and also when they are posted in language learning institutes abroad for the duration of their course? I wish you the very best in future and we Indians have no doubt that you will uphold the image and pride of our nation in whichever country that you work. Regards

[@maniagarwalsimple]

Christopher Toppo ..Hello! My answer to your question is yes. When ifs officers are given training in Delhi and thereafter in foreign country they are allowed to be with their family/parents.

Hello, Mani Madam! I just saw your video. And I really loved it. Diplomacy has always fascinated me. I have one question which might seem slightly off the topic to you. But, it is really important to me. And I would love it if you answer my question. My question was, is it possible for an IAS officer to become an IFS officer? Or can an IAS officer quit his service and prepare once again for CSE in order to become an IFS officer? Is it possible or are there any restrictions or something?

[@sanjaynegi1963]

There are 2 services in which once you get selected than you can't give upsc again for another services that is ias and ifs. So if you want ifs get it in the first place against ias after joining ias you can't switch to ifs and vice versa. Hope you get your answer

Ppl know ifs as forest service than foreign service so that’s not much popular compared to ias. The cut off is 150 but if there’s no or shortage of ifs considerations are made. No you may not need to know the languages cause they will send you to the county for lang training
