The Indian Administrative Services (IAS) is a wing of All India Services. It is considered as one of the most tenacious examinations. The UPSC conducts the Civil Services exam every year to recruit the finest personalities in the Indian bureaucracy.

There are three modes of recruitment into the Indian Administrative Service. IAS officers may enter the IAS by passing the Civil Services Examination, which is conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). Officers recruited this way are called direct recruits. Some IAS officers are also recruited from the state civil services, and, in rare cases, selected from non-state civil service. The ratio between direct recruits and promotes is fixed at 2:1. All IAS officers, regardless of the mode of entry, are appointed by the President of India.
