INTRODUCTION:-
The term "monographia" is derived from the Greek mono (single) and grapho (to write),
meaning "writing on a single subject". Unlike a textbook, which surveys the state of knowledge
in a field, the main purpose of a monograph is to present primary research and original
scholarship. This research is presented at length, distinguishing a monograph from an article.
For these reasons, publication of a monograph is commonly regarded as vital for career
progression in many academic disciplines.
Book publishers use the term "artist monograph" to indicate books consisting of reproductions
of works of art by a single artist, as opposed to surveys of art from multiple artists.
Here to study the career monograph relates to understanding the overall aspect of
the particular single career been selected.
Meaning :-
A monograph is a specialist work of writing on a single subject or an aspect of a subject, usually
by a single author.
A career monograph is a work of writing on a single career by a single author.
Thus considering INDIAN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE as the topic for my career monograph,
the format is given below.
Objective:-
To understand the overall view of a particular career {here IAS is concerned }
INDIAN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE
The Indian Administrative Service (abbreviated as IAS) (Hindi: भारतीय प्रशासनिक सेवा) is
the premier administrative civil service of the Government of India. IAS officers hold key and
strategic positions in the Union Government, States and public-sector undertakings. Like in
various countries (example UK) following Parliamentary system, IAS as the permanent
bureaucracy in India forms an inseparable part of the executive branch of the Government of
India thus providing continuity and neutrality to the administration. Unlike Candidates
selected to other civil services, a person once appointed to Indian Administrative Service or
Indian Foreign Service(IFS) becomes ineligible to reappear in Civil Services Examination
conducted by Union Public Service Commission because there are no higher civil services other
than aforementioned two services under Government of India.
Along with the Indian police and forest services, the IAS is one of the three All India
Services—its cadre can be employed by both - the Union Government and the States. Apart
from this IAS officials along with their counterparts from Indian Foreign Service are posted in
various International Organisations like in the UN and it's agencies, World Bank and IMF etc.

either representing India or working under them on deputations. They can also be deputed to
relevant divisions of Indian Embassies and consulates along with Indian Foreign Service officers
if and when required. Along with Indian diplomats they represent India or forms part of the
delegations in Intergovernmental conferences and International summits.

RECRUITMENT
Recruitment to the Indian Administrative Service is done through an extremely competitive
examination called the "Civil Services Examination", organized by the Union Public Service
Commission (UPSC). In 2012, over 500,000 candidates applied for this examfrom which 170

4. 4 | P a g e
were finally recruited into the Indian Administrative Service. The IAS is usually overwhelmingly
the top choice of Civil Service Exam aspirants because of the high diversity and prestige of
career it offers.Due to very few number of vacancies in IAS and first preference by most of the
candidates, entry into the IAS becomes furthermore difficult. Almost all of the applicants rank
IAS as their first preference because of the high prestige and diversity of career it offers. For
example, in the 2011 batch, of the 425 selected candidates, 370 indicated IAS as their first
preference, 25 chose IFS and 15 IRS, and 15 chose IPS. But when it came to second preference,
246 candidates marked IRS as their choice, while only 120 marked IPS as their second choice
and 49 as IFS.
The Civil Services Examination is a three-stage process spanning nearly twelve months.
Candidates have to first write a preliminary examination consisting of two papers, where they
are tested on areas such as economics, politics, history, geography, environment, awareness of
current affairs, reading comprehension, logical reasoning and basic numeracy skills. Only those
that qualify at the preliminary level are eligible to proceed to the second stage, referred to as
the "Mains" exams. Candidates have to write nine papers in the Mains exams, where they are
tested on Indian and world history, constitutional law, international relations and multilateral
bodies, world geography and administrative ethics. Those who successfully clear the Mains
exams are then interviewed by the Union Public Service Commission, and a final list of
recommended candidates is forwarded to the Government of India.
ALLOCATION AND PLACEMENT
After being selected, candidates are not allocated to "cadres." There is one cadre in each
Indian state, except for three joint cadres: Assam–Meghalaya, Manipur–Tripura, and
Arunachal Pradesh–Goa–Mizoram–Union Territories (AGMUT).
The "insider-outsider ratio" (ratio of officers who are posted in their home states) is
maintained as 1:2. as 'insiders'. The rest are posted outsiders according to the 'roster' in states
other than their home states. Till 2008 there was no choice for any state cadre and the
candidates, if not placed in the insider vacancy of their home states, were allotted to different
states in alphabetic order of the roster, beginning with the letters A,H,M,T for that particular
year.
For example if in a particular year the roster begins from 'A', which means the first candidate
in the roster will go to the Andhra Pradesh state cadre of IAS, the next one to Bihar, and
subsequently to Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and so on in alphabetical order. The next year the roster
starts from 'H', for either Haryana or Himachal Pradesh.( if it has started from Haryana in the
previous occasion when it all started from 'H', then this time it would start from Himachal
Pradesh). This highly intricate system has on one hand ensured that officers from different
states are placed all over India, it has also resulted in wide disparities in the kind of
professional exposure for officers, when we compare officers in small and big and also

5. 5 | P a g e
developed and backward state, since the system ensures that the officers are permanently
placed to one state cadre. The only way the allotted state cadre can be changed is by marriage
to an officer of another state cadre of IAS/IPS/IFS. One can even go to his home state cadre on
deputation for a limited period, after which one has to invariably return to the cadre allotted
to him or her.
The centralising effect of these measures was considered extremely important by the system's
framers, but has received increasing criticism over the years. In his keynote address at the 50th
anniversary of the Service in Mussoorie, former Cabinet Secretary NirmalMukarji argued that
separate central, state and local bureaucracies should eventually replace the IAS as an aid to
efficiency. There are also concerns that without such reform, the IAS will be unable to "move
from a command and control strategy to a more interactive, interdependent system".
FUNCTIONS OF THE CIVIL SERVANT/OFFICER
A civil servant is responsible for the law and order and general administration in the area
under his work. Typically the functions of an IAS officer are as follows:
i. To handle the daily affairs of the government, including framing and implementation of
policy in consultation with the minister-in-charge of the concerned ministry.
ii. Implementation of policy requires supervision.
iii. Implementation requires travelling to places where the policies are being implemented.
iv. Implementation also includes expenditure of public funds which again requires personal
supervision as the officers are answerable to the Parliament and State Legislature for
any irregularities that may occur.
v. In the process of policy formulation and decision making, officers at various levels like
joint secretary, deputy secretary make their contributions and the final shape to the
policy is given or a final decision is taken with the concurrence of the minister
concerned or the cabinet depending upon the gravity of the issue.
SardarVallabhbhai Patel is remembered as the "Patron Saint" of India's civil servants for
establishing modern all-India services. In an unprecedented and unrepeated gesture, on the
day after his death more than 1,500 officers of India's civil and police services congregated to
mourn at Patel's residence in Delhi and pledged "complete loyalty and unremitting zeal" in
India's service.
DESIGNATIONS
Progression of career of IAS officers in State and Centre Government
Most IAS officers start their careers in the state administration at the sub-divisional level as a
sub divisional magistrate. They are entrusted with the law and order situation of the city along
with general administration and development work of the areas under their charge. Since early

6. 6 | P a g e
20th-century, Indian civil servants are colloquially called "babus", while Indian bureaucracy is
called "babudom", as in the "rule of babus", especially in India media.
