The seat-sharing process in the civil services exam in India involves the allocation of seats based on various factors. Here is a point-wise explanation of how it works:
- The civil services exam in India is conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).
- The exam is held for various services including the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS), and Indian Foreign Service (IFS), among others.
- The allocation of seats is done based on the rank obtained by candidates in the exam.
- Candidates are allocated seats as per their rank, preferences, and the vacancies available in different services and categories.
- The process aims to ensure a fair and equitable distribution of seats among the candidates who qualify the exam.
- Preferences for services and cadres are submitted by candidates during the application process.
- Based on these preferences, the candidates are allocated seats during the counseling and seat allotment process.
- The allocation process takes into account various factors like reservation policies and the candidate's category.
- The candidates who secure higher ranks have the flexibility to get their preferred choices, while the lower-ranked candidates are allotted seats based on availability.
