Indian Forest Services Preliminary Exam Date 2018
The Union Public Service Commission will hold a Screening Test for selection to Indian Forest Service ( Main ) Examination, 2018 through Civil Services ( Preliminary ) Examination, 2018 which will be held on 3rd June, 2018, in accordance with the Rules published by the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change in the Gazette of India dated the 07th February, 2018.
The number of vacancies to be filled on the results of the examination is expected to be approximately 110.
The number of vacancies is liable to alteration. Reservation will be made for candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes and Person with Benchmark Disability Categories in respect of vacancies as may be fixed by the Government.
Note : As per the information received from the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, 2 vacancies have been kept reserved for Low Vision category, 2 vacancies have been kept reserved Deaf and Hard of Hearing ( Partially Deaf category ) and one vacancy has been kept reserved for Locomotor disability ( sub-category : Leprosy cured and Acid attack ). 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 belong 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 that he / she belongs to General Category but subsequently writes to the Commission to change his / her category, to a reserved one, such request shall not be entertained by the Commission. Similar principle will be followed for person with benchmark disability category also. While the above principle will be followed in general, there may be a few cases where there was a gap not more than 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 application by the candidate.
In such cases the request of change of community from General to Reserved may be considered by the Commission on merit. In case of a candidate unfortunately becoming person with benchmark disability during the course of the examination process, the candidate should produce valid documents showing him / her acquiring a disability to the extent of 40% or more as defined under the RPwD Act, 2016 to enable him / her to get the benefits of reservation earmarked for persons with benchmark disability provided he / she otherwise remains eligible for Indian Forest Service as per Rule 19 of Indian Forest Service Examination.
Candidates seeking reservation/relaxation benefits available for SC / ST / OBC / PD / Exservicemen must ensure that they are entitled to such reservation / relaxation as per eligibility prescribed in the Rules / Notice. They should also be in possession of all the requisite certificates in the prescribed format in support of their claim as stipulated in the Rules/Notice for such benefits, and these certificates should be dated earlier than the due date ( closing date ) of the application for the Civil Services ( Preliminary ) Examination.

Hi,
The duration of the IFS,2012 exam is listed as 10 days while there are just 6 papers to be appeared for,then what actually is the pattern of the exam i.e. how many papers per day,etc. ………. I’m asking this b’coz I have an exam on 15th July 2012,thus if the 10 days refers to gaps in between the exam,then I would apply for it otherwise not and Yeah what is the General Schedule of the IFS examination like was it still 10 days while it took place in 2012 as well and how one required to appear for each paper i.e. with study gaps or without them.
any information in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
