Is IFS better than IAS and IPS? | UPSC 2024 | IFS 2024 | UPSC Prelims 2023

[OPEN LETTER TO THE UNION PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION]

UPSC should bring in the following changes in its civil services exam.

Bring down the time period (low-hanging fruit): 99.5% fail this exam. India’s youngsters waste 24 months give or take to prepare and attempt for prelims, mains, and interviews. If for some reason they fail the exam, it is practically impossible to transition into a great MBA school or private sector.

UPSC shouldn’t be a zero-sum binary game where the winner takes all: If a person has cleared Prelims or Mains - this component should be accounted for in the next year's attempt cycle.

There should be a specialized recruitment process for different services: It is ludicrous to have a foreign service aspirant write the same exam conducted to recruit a Railways officer or a Tax Collector, or a Police Officer.

Except for India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh - this nonsense doesn’t happen anywhere else in the modern world.

Create exit opportunities for those in the top 10%ile: This could be done via partnering with organizations such as BCG, Global Governance Initiative, World Bank, etc - who are expanding the scope of work in the impact sector.

Increase the number of questions asked in the Prelims exam: Over a million candidates appear for Prelims. The mass scale elimination is based on just 100 Objective Type Questions - where a one wrong check mark leads to a 1 year wasted.

The UPSC exam has ruined many lives, and has broken the confidence of innumerable bright youngsters. India’s young talent could be building startups, creating products, and could make a huge difference in the age of infinite leverage.

The Indian Foreign Services matters today because foreign policy is no longer foreign. It affects people right where they live. Today whether you are a resident of Delhi, or Durban, or Dallas - whether you are from New Zealand or Namibia. It is simply not realistic to think only in terms of your own country

Our health, our security, our prosperity, quality of life, and even our businesses are increasingly affected by what happens beyond our borders which means we can’t simply be indifferent about our neighbors.


Sadly, many youngsters who get into Foreign Services are those for whom IFS was the second option. They got into the IFS because they couldn’t qualify for the IAS. IFS was down below in the list of preferences in their Detailed Application Form.


This needs to change, and this will change. Because now we are launching something called the MisFits.

Choosing a service is *subjective* meaning it depends upon the individual and not by opinions of others.

My dream Indian foreign service officer

[krsna]

Bhaiya, I have been watching your videos since 5-6 months and i am so proud of you for what you are doing to educate us. I am an 11th Class Student preparing for JEE. From a very young age, i have been following Indian politics, history, and international geopolitical events. I am so motivated towards diplomacy and want to pursue my career into it. But at the same time I wanna graduate through IITs which I believe would make me a stronger and more confident person. Few months ago. But i am confused how should I make my roadmap for this journey. I am very hopeful that you'd read this message and help me with that.
