Mam, I am in 12th now and I want to fulfill my dream of being an IFS Officer in the future . I want to when and how shall I take the steps towards my goal. In all probabilities I am going to get 85% and above in my board exams.

The UPSC website www.upsc.gov.in would give you completed details of the Civil Services examination which could lead to the Indian Foreign Service and of the Indian Forest Service Examination also which leads to the Indian Forest Service. To apply for the Civil Services examination you need to be a graduate in any stream. However, the demands of the competitive examination are better met with a post graduation especially in the context of the Optional papers. The applicant for the Indian Forest Service should be a graduate in science or engineering broadly.
