Since past few years, employment in India is at its best; never mind the insecurity that dangles over the Indian economy. Though the mushrooming of private sectors has produced plenty of employment opportunities for youths, but the pressure and deadline are few traits that today’s corporate world expect from their employees. After much dedication and hard work, the security of jobs keeps bothering employees. Keeping this thing in mind, there are many of us who aspire of attaining higher position in civil services. Civil Services not only offers job securities but also power, prestige, idealism and ability to change the system from within.
