UPSC Indian Forest Service Examination – UPSC IFS Exam 2013
The Union Public Service Commission will hold a Screening Test for selection to Indian Forest Service ( Main ) Examination, 2013 through Civil Service ( Preliminary ) Examination, 2013 which will be held on 26th May, 2013 in accordance with the rules published by the Ministry of Environment and Forests in the Gazette of India dated the 5th of March 2013.
2. The number of IFS vacancies 2013 to be filled on the results of the IFS Examination is expected to be approximately 85. The number of IFS vacancies 2013 is liable to alteration.
Reservation will be made for candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes and Physically Handicapped categories in respect of vacancies in IFS 2013 as may be fixed by the Government.
Note :
As per the information received from the Ministry of Environment Forest, 1 vacancy each has been kept reserved by them for Partially Blind and Hearing Impaired categories. However the vacancies indicated are liable to further alteration.
A candidate will be eligible to get the benefit of community reservation only in case the particular caste to which the candidates belongs is included in the list of reserved communities issued by the Central Government. If a candidate indicates in his / her Application Form for Indian Forest Service Examination 2013 that he / she belongs to General Category but subsequently writes to the Union Public Service Commission to change his / her category, to a reserved one, such request shall not be entertained by the Union Public Service Commission. Similar principle will be followed for physically disabled category also.
While the above principle will be followed in general, there may be a few cases where there was a little gap ( say 2 – 3 months ) between the issuance of a Government Notification enlisting a particular community in the list of any of the reserved communities and the date of submission of the IFS Exam 2013 application by the candidate. In such cases the request of change of community from general to reserved may be considered by the Union Public Service Commission on merit. In case of a candidates unfortunately becoming physically disabled during the course of the examination, the candidate should produce valid documents to enable the Union Public Service Commission to take a decision in the matter on merit. The closing date fixed for the receipt of the application for IFS 2013 Exam will be treated as the date for determining the OBC status ( including that of creamy layer ) of the candidates.
