Re: Indian Forest Service Syllabus Mechanical

Indian Forest Service (IFS) Exam is Conducted by Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) once in a year.

Being a Challenging Entrance Exam, Candidates need to put in a lot of hard work and planning into preparations.

The Indian Forest Service Examination will consist of two successive stages

Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination (Objective type) for the selection of candidates for the Indian Forest Service (Main) Examination; and Indian Forest Service (Main) Examination (Written and Interview) for the selection of candidates for the Indian Forest Service

IFS Exam Pattern:
Paper I – General English 300 Marks
Paper II – General Knowledge 300 Marks
Paper III, IV, V & VI – Any two subjects to be selected from the list of optional subjects set out below. Each subject will have two papers. 200 Marks for each paper
Total marks for written examination

List of Optional Subjects:-

Agriculture
Agricultural Engineering
Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Science
Botany
Chemistry
Chemical Engineering
Civil Engineering
Forestry
Geology
Mathematics
Mechanical Engineering
Physics
Statistics
Zoology
