UPSC Rank Wise Post List

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 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.
