Civil Servant (IAS/PCS)

Start your preparation for being an IAS officer from the class 10 stage following these steps:

Political Science and International Relations with regard to the syllabus for the examination conducted by the *Combined Defence Services (CDS)* and that for the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) touch on one another but with a distinction in perspectives and scope. 

1. *Common Topics*: Some similar topics included in the syllabus of these two examinations are:
- Political theory (basic concepts, ideologies)
- Indian polity (Constitution, political system, governance)
- International relations, organizations

2. Differences:
- *CDS*: It confines itself more to the Introductory Political Science especially from its imperatives concerning the military and national security since from the study of political systems an introductory orientation will find itself relevant in understanding the world of international relations.
- *IAS*: This has a frightfully comprehensive syllabus with exposure to things such as Indian governance, policy, comparative politics, political thinkers, and increasingly narrower topics and aspects on international relations. The *IAS syllabus* also covers *ethics* and *public administration* in its general studies papers, but the CDS syllabus has more defensively related topics and extensive political knowledge under the universality of study tion as there is overlap in subjects on political theory and Indian polity, while the broader and detailed IAS exam syllabus becomes CDS, which takes a more introductory orientation on politics and international relations relevance to defense.
