Cadres
There are twenty-four cadres in the country and also there are three joint cadres: Assam-Meghalaya; Manipur-Tripura; and Arunachal Pradesh-Goa-Mizoram-Union Territories (AGMUT).
*The cadre allocation policy has changed recently. Please check the official website.
The officers of the All India Services (AIS) namely, Indian Administrative Service (IAS); Indian Forest Service (IFS) and Indian Police Service (IPS) are divided into state cadres.
During their probation, the All India Service Officers are allotted to their States and officers of the All India Services working with the Union Government are also posted on deputation for few years.
Almost two-thirds of the All India Services Officers who are allotted to the State Cadre is from outside the state and the remaining may be the original residents of the allocated state.
Once an officer is allocated to a State Cadre, he/she generally continues to work with that State Cadre during his/her whole service.
Candidates who are recruited are allocated to different cadres and on a need basis, may also be moved to Central Government jobs on deputation.
