The Union Public Service Commission released the Civil Service Exam Result 2024 for the 2023 session on April 16, 2024.

In addition to this, the Commission also released the number of candidates (belonging to each category) selected for each of the services.The Rank-Wise Post List 2023 will be released later by the Ministry of Personnel.
The Rank-Wise Post List for the Civil Service Exam is released by the Ministry of Personnel in various iterations. The iterations are needed because some of the selected candidates are allocated to the same service to which they are serving. As a result, they do not join the same service and do not report for joining. Here the UPSC Reserve List comes into play and the Commission recommend more candidates from the reserve list. IAS exam is conducted annually to recruit candidates for All India Services and Central Civil Services. The candidates can see here the list of UPSC Toppers 2023.

The IAS 2023 Prelims exam was held on May 28th, 2023. The exam was moderately to difficult overall, with the General Studies Paper 1 being moderate to difficult and the GS Paper 2 CSAT being very lengthy. The exam also included more questions from the Environment and Geography section, and fewer questions from current affairs and international relations. The exam pattern changed, with altered Assertion and Reason questions, and a new format for multiples.
The cut-off for the exam was expected to be between 82 and 85, compared to 88 in 2022. Only 14,624 students scored above the cut-off and were eligible to proceed to the Mains round.
Some students who took the CSAT paper said it was very difficult, and some even approached the courts against the UPSC. Even some candidates files a petition against the difficulty level of the IAS prelims GS-2 (CSAT) paper.
Factors Affecting the Service And State Cadre Allocation
The candidates are required to fill out the Detailed Application Form (DAF) during the application process where they are required to fill out their Service and State preferences. The candidates' allocation of the candidates to the services depends on the following factors:
- The Rank of the candidate
- Service Preference of the candidate
- State Preference of the candidate
- Number of Vacancies in the State
- Insider/Outsider Roaster of the state
- Medical Examination of the Candidate
The rank of the candidate helps them to get into the Service of their choice. The candidates are arranged according to their merit and service preference. A higher rank has a higher possibility of getting into the service of their choice.
State Preference comes into play when the number of vacancies in a particular service is few in comparison to the preference filled by the selected candidate.
The Insider/Outsider roaster of the state decides whether the candidate will get their home cadre or not. Getting Home cadre is the result of the dynamic interplay of all the above-said factors.
