The service of IAS, IPS and IFS Coming this Aug 19 will be allotted on basis of foundation course along with UPSC marks.
Ranking in the civil services exam will not be the sole criteria anymore for allotting of services to candidates selected by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).
The Modi government has decided that 10 per cent weightage will now be given to the performance of selected candidates in the "Mandatory" Combined Foundation Course ( till date this course was taken by these cadres as a joke & passtime).
According to a Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) notification dated 9 July, starting this year, the services allotted to candidates would be subject to change depending on their performance in the foundation course.
This idea of a unified foundation course was first proposed by the PMO last year. It was suggested that candidates selected by the UPSC would be allotted services not on the basis of their rankings in the UPSC exam, but on the basis of a Unified Foundation Course.
The proposal, however, was put on the backburner after the Modi government faced enormous backlash for attempting to tweak the recruitment of Civil Servants, and introducing what was seen as a high degree of subjectivity in the process of Service Allocation.
The latest government move to give weightage to the unified foundation course comes in this backdrop.
The DoPT wants to make a fresh attempt to bring all 1,000-1,200 candidates selected by UPSC under a unified foundation course soon after they are recruited by the commission.
This is a major shift ever Implemented to bring total professionalism in these cadres and take out the arrogance of self style power centre in the country.
