| Re: Indian Forest Service Mains Syllabus
You are looking for the details regarding the Indian Forest Service Civil Engineering Syllabus. So I am providing it to you so that it may be helpful for you: Paper Pattern: The competitive examination comprises two successive stages : Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination (Objective Type) for the screening & selection of candidates for Indian Forest Service (Main) Examination; and Indian Forest Service (Main) Examination (Written and Interview) for the selection of candidates against the vacancies identified and reported for the Indian Forest Service Examination. PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION The Examination shall comprise of two compulsory Papers of 200 marks each Both the question papers will be of the objective type (multiple choice questions). The question papers will be set both in Hindi and English. However, questions relating to English Language Comprehension skills of Class X level will be tested through passages from English language only without providing Hindi translation thereof in the question paper. Each paper will be of two hours duration. Blind candidates will; however, be allowed an extra time of twenty minutes for each paper MAIN EXAMINATION:- The written examination consisting of the following papers:- Paper I General English 300 Marks Paper II General Knowledge 300 Marks Paper III Any two subjects 200 marks to be selected for Paper IV from the list of each the optional paper Paper V subjects set out Paper VI Each subject will have two papers.
