209 candidates to join IRS(C&CE)
THE DoPT has allocated 209 candidates who have qualified in the Civil Services 2013, to the IRS (Customs and Central Excise). NACEN will have to train these 209 officers in the next two years. What will be the quality of training with over 200 trainees and hardly any infrastructure to train such large number? 165 candidates are allocated to IRS (Income Tax).
Central Excise Inspector Suresh Kumar Ola is among the 172 candidates allocated to IAS. Even though he is eligible for reservation under the OBC quota, Ola has made it into the service in the general category by virtue of his high rank of 41. (Please see ). Dr. Divya S Iyer, currently undergoing training in NACEN as an IRS probationer is selected for IAS.. (Please see - NACEN's Research Paper accepted for 9th PICARD WCO conference DDT 2404.)
