IFS, which stands for Indian Forest Services, is an All India level Civil Services Examination that is conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). It is one of the three All India Services (besides IAS AND IPS). This exam helps in recruiting officers who help in the scientific management of forests.

Indian Forest Services allows serving both the State and Central Governments and are placed in positions relating to different state cadres and joint cadres. One needs to strictly follow the rules mentioned in the National Forest Policy. This policy aims to help in having a stable environment.

Another important thing that one preparing for this exam should know is that an IFS officer does not have to keep district administration and other judicial, financial powers in account. One who gets in the position of IFS Officer holds the top positions in the forestry department.

Well, before knowing about how you can prepare well for this exam, it is crucial to know what the pattern of the exam and syllabus is.

The Pattern of the UPSC IFS Exam 

The Indian Forest Services Examination has three stages namely, preliminary (prelims), main examination and personality test or interview.

Make it a habit to read a newspaper that can provide you with all the updates of your surroundings including world news. Keep a note of all the important events that you can refer to before the exams.

Communication skills are an integral part of any examination. It is through the personality test that the examiner will understand how well you are when it comes to interacting with people around you.

  • Time management

This is a very crucial part of any preparation. Solving previous years’ papers can be truly helpful since it helps you understand the amount of time you are taking in various sections of the paper. It also aids you to know the efficiency and accuracy of the answers in a particular time frame.

  • Take care of your health

Many aspirants think that studying without taking breaks and studying while day and night will help them in getting better results. But this is a notion one should never follow. It is vital for one to sleep on time, eat healthily and take breaks. This is how you will not only keep yourself physically fit for the exams but also prepare your brain to stay calm.
