    -THESE ARE EXCLUDED OF ANY LEGISLATIVE,JUDICIARY OR MILITARY POSTS AND POWERS.
    -ANY POLITICAL CHANGE ALSO HAS NO AFFECT ON THESE POSTS.
    -THE CANDIDATES OCCUPYING THESE POSTS ARE ALLOWED and EXPECTED TO TAKE DECISIONS AND FORMULATE RULES FOR THE PUBLIC WITHOUT BIAS.
    -THE CIVIL SERVICE EXAMS 'DO NOT' INCLUDE ANY ENGINEERING POST.
    -THESE POSTS INCLUDE THAT OF AN IAS,IPS,Indian Foreign Service,Revenue Officers,Etc.
    -ENGINEERING POSTS ARE FILLED IN THROUGH IES EXAMS CONDUCTED BY THE UPSC,SEPARATELY.

    Dear candidate
    the civil service exam is conducted for filling the post of IPS,IFS,IAS,INDIAN REVENUE SERVICES ETC,
    these posts are related to the social sectors. in these posts the selected officers perform their social responsibility towards society by effective and efficient way.

    It does not mean to recruit only civil engineers. for civil engineer the UPSC conduct IES exam according to their prescribed test date.

    Civil services means to serve Indain society people as a reputed officer nor as a civil engineer only, You can become civil engineer by getting B.Tech or B. Arch degree but to become Officer in Civil services, you will have to face UPSC exam like IAS/IPS/IFS/IES etc.

    Civil service exam is taken by UPSC every year for the post of IAS , IPS and IFS .
    These are public administration posts that consides the top government post .
    These posts have no affect for the legislative , militery power . It has own power .
    These are posts takes the decision for the progress of the country .
    The another exam which takes only engineeres that is IES exam .
    So civil service exam is the toughest exam and provide one the reputation and power .

    Re: What is the Meaning of Civil Services exam? Does it mean to recruit only civil engineers only?

    Dear pal,
    • civil is the term which means people. The name civil service was coined refering to service to the people. Initial there was only one discipline namely civil after that other branches began to come out as a result of faster development in it.
    • So the exam for all the aspirant who have completed their bachelor degree or about to complete the degree in a year duration.
    • But there is engineering service for recruiting the engineers to various engineering vacancies that is put available. The various engineering vacancies are available under the disciplines civil, mechanical, electrical, electronics and telecommunication . For which you can apply in addition to IAS , IPS if you are engineer.
    • The exam for IAS, IPS remains the same except that you have physical selection for IPS. The engineering service has their own exam and selection process

    Dear, Civil Services doesn't mean the recruitment of Civil Engineers only. Instead of this it means, its a combined exam for different posts of different Civil Departments of Central Govt., which is conducted by UPSC. After getting success in this Exam, one is eligible for IAS/IPS/ Indian Foreign Services and many more posts of other Civil Departments in a Gazetted Rank.
