This is the discussion thread for the News Announcement here: UPSC, IAS, Indian Civil Service (Preliminary, Mains, Interview) Exam support from Serving Indian Officers. - news - Number of IAS seats increased for 2008 UPSC exam A total of 110 IAS vacancies are available for the year 2008, minister of state for personnel Shri. Suresh Pachauri said recently. It is also expected that the total IAS vacancies for 2009 and 2010 are likely to be higher at 120 and 130 respectively. The spurt in vacancies, official sources said, was marginally due to attrition as "just a minority, mostly from the revenue-related services" has been quitting the echelons of the civil services. The more plausible reasons are intake being linked to number of officers retiring every year, besides a "general expansion" in the government's role as a "facilitator and regulator" in a liberalizing economy.

Thank you sir for this encouraging information. More seats means it is easier relatively as compared to other years. | ||

I would rather say squeezing of other services down the line, and more seats means less chances of many to attend the Foundation Course at Mussoorie.  Mussoorie can accommodate exactly 302 officers at a time

it so happens that these days foundation course is held only in mussoorie as the number of candidates is about 200 to 250. but because of increase in vacancies for IAS, there could be a possibility that the academy at mussoorie may not be in a position to cater to all the successful candidates. so the academy may cater to only some candidates and the rest may have to go else where for training.
