Indian Administrative Service (IAS)
Appointments are made on probation for a period of two years which may be extended subject to certain conditions. Successful candidates are required to undergo prescribed training at such places and in such manner and pass such examinations during the period of probation as the Central Government may determine.
If in the opinion of Government, the work or conduct of a probationer is unsatisfactory or shows that he is unlikely to become efficient, Government may discharge him forthwith or, as the case may be, revert him to the permanent post, on which he holds a lien or would hold a lien had it not been suspended under the rules applicable to him prior to his appointments to the Service.
