@sharmila dnt worry ma'am service allocation will be done for you.However you will be allowed to join the training only after you are properly fit.i will try to upload that pdf which has the details and congratulations both for the result as well as for the baby..
@dixitsmriti7 : last year irs-it(90)+ irs-ce(76) for general took the closing rank to 522 and this year with IRS-IT(77) + IRS-CE(117) we could well expect an additional 30-40 ppl getting accommodated in CE . My prediction is it could go around 550-560 rank this time . All the best
Hi..I have secured Rank 351 this year (General) and have just joined this forum..I was going through the discussions and went through few posts on Audit and Accounts service..actually I have ranked IAAS as my 4th preference above IRS and was wondering if I have made a mistake..but going by the feedback as of now, it seems to be a very good service..before filling the DAF also, one of my seniors told me that it is a good service (more interesting than IRS; no offence to IRS), scope for growth is high and promotions are very fast..any comments on comparision between IRS and IAAS?
I think if you read all the posts about the different services on this thread, you can draw a neat comparison yourself. Both services are good, it depends on how you wish to shape your career. Of course, you won't be a part of policy formulations in the IA&AS, but then the promotions are much faster and there are various deputation opportunities. In the IRS you can be a part of the CBDT/CBEC and take part in the rolling out of GST/DTC/DTAAs etc. People interface is much higher in IRS but then the promotions are relatively slower.
It's all a trade-off, my friend. What ultimately matters is how you feel about your job 10 years from now, and beyond.
@Neanderthal: Thanks a lot. Ya, I guess it's a trade-off and the choice has to be personal. Since, it was my first attempt, I am planning to take the exam again and hopefully could improve my rank next year. Any idea about what process would be followed next. I haven't received any intimation from DoPT/UPSC. The DoPT log in provided to us is also not working. I guess the circular for exemption from FC will come in late July/August. Till then, do we need to do anything from our side? Just want to be sure I do not miss anything.

Nothing has happened yet. Just keep following the DOPT website for updates. There is a facebook group called 89th Foundation course that you can join to keep yourself updated.
1. DoPT will 'try' to complete all eligible service allocations on/before 31-July.
2. Medical reports for many candidates are still incomplete. incomplete and/or inconclusive - all medical test done on designated date, but based on the results, respective hospital doctors have suggested follow-up medical tests(for few cases), pending which the medical test report is marked 'incomplete'.
19 names of incomplete medical report has been received by DoPT from RML on the day I spoke to the DoPT. Similar list from other hospitals are awaited. DoPT is in process of writing letters to all such candidates whose medical report is incomplete. Having said this, candidates SHOULD NOT wait for the letter, to then take action. They should suo moto contact their designated hospitals and inquire about their medical report status and take follow-up actions, if necessary.

3. As per rule 8/AIS, it is not a choice but an obligation on DoPT to provide exemptions. So exemptions will be provided this year as well. Discussion is now going in DoPT on formalities of providing exemptions. There is a proposal to exempt everyone who has cleared CSM 2013 and have applied for CSP 2014. So discussion in this respect is going on b/w UPSC and DoPT to dig former's database and pull out such names. However this is just in proposal phase and no concrete decision has been taken by DoPT as yet.
4. Foundation course will start from 1-Sept this year.
5. Candidates who have not yet submitted their attestation form(for whatever reason), need not worry. It won't affect their service allocation, as respective cadre controlling authority viz; MHA(IPS), MoF(IRS), DoPT(IAS) etc will do the necessary antecedent checks before joining.
