General status and selection

For selection into DANIAS, one has to qualify the Civil Services Exam, which is held annually. The Civil Services Examination has a three-stage competitive selection process. At stage one, there is an objective type examination called the preliminary exam. This is a qualifying examination. It consists of a General Studies paper and an aptitude test. Only the candidates who pass this can appear for the "Main Examination" which consists of nine papers. Each candidate has to select an optional subject (two papers in the form of Paper A and Paper B as per the prescribed syllabus) and to take four General Studies papers, an Essay, an English language paper and a regional language paper. This is followed by an interview. The cadre is further augmented by promotion of non-gazetted civil service officers. Two thirds of the strength is filled by direct recruitment and the remaining by promotion.
