I am a student of B.A(Honours)Economics 2nd year,and i want to get full information on IFS(Indian foreign service).

Overview In September 1946, on the eve of India’s independence, the Government of India decided to create a service called the Indian Foreign Service for India’s diplomatic, consular and commercial representation overseas. The precursor to Indian Foreign Service can be traced back to September 1783 when Foreign Department was established by the British Raj to conduct business with foreign European powers. In 1947, there was a near seamless transformation of the Foreign department of the British India government into what then became the new Ministry of External Affairs and in 1948 the first batch recruited under the combined Civil service examination system of the Union Public Service Commission joined the service. This system of entry has remained the staple mode of intake into the IFS to this day. The Indian Foreign Service is not one of the All India Services but still enjoys an equivalent status. The three types of civil services in India are the All India Services, Central Services and State Services. It belongs to the Central Services. AFTER GTRADUATION IT IS POSSIBLE TO SEAT ON
