IAS cadre allocation is done by the Department of Personnel while the selected candidates undergoing the training at their respective training academies. The candidates are allotted to the state cadres where they undergo the field training. So the DoPT need to release the IAS cadre allocation list before the end of the Phase I course so that the candidates can go to their respective states for the field training.

It is important to note that the Jammu and Kashmir cadre is merged with the Arunachal Pradesh–Goa–Mizoram–Union Territories (AGMUT) cadre. Until IAS cadre allocation 2018, there was a separate cadre for the state Jammu and Kashmir but as it became the Union Territory now, the state cadre was merged with the AGMUT cadre. The total number of cadres in the IAS is now 25. In the IAS 2018 cadre allocation, the total number of cadres were 26.

The sequencing of the roaster is very difficult to decode, so nobody is sure that he or she will get the home state cadre. It depends on the insider vacancy in the state and the roaster. The IAS Rank 1 can be sure if there is a vacancy of an insider in his or her state cadre. But even the 2nd rank holder is not certain about his or her cadre.
