dear friend,


Civil Services and IFS exams are two important exams conducted by UPSC. Both exams are conducted by UPSC every year.

Civil Services Exam is conducted for various posts like IAS, IPS, Revenue, Customs etc.

IFS exam is conducted for the posts of Forest Department only.

For Civil Services you must complete graduation in any stream.

but for IFS you must complete your graduation with at least one of the subjects
Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Science, Botany, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics, Statistics and Zoology and B.E/B.Tech.



Good Luck.......

There is no difference between both IFS and CSE because IFS is the branch of civil services exam means Indian Forest Services comes under the Civil Services Exams and there are some exams also which are under Civil services which are - IAS, IPS, IFS, IES etc. so that you should not be so confused about this but the eligibility criteria is different for every category candidate which is around a degree in any/relevant discipline but the age limitation is same which is 21-30 years and relaxation is 5 years for SC/STs and 3 years for OBC category candidates.

Indian Forest Services exam conducted to get Forest Officer post in India and IFS Officer is a central government officer which is equal as other civil services officers.

All the best
