Hello,

Iit and civil services are two different things. The former provide you with graduation degree and the latter provide you with government job.



A very clear thing is there :



Have you ever seen any IAS Officer trying to obtain a degree of MBA from IIM or any top university after becoming an IAS ?

I have seen lots of IITian and IIMian preparing for Civil Service Examination even after getting placements atvery highpackages from their campus and doing job in that particular MNC .



Once you are in IIT, you can always earn well and maintain your tag as an IIT Engineer. But to become an IAS officer, you will have to prepare for the exam, take risks with your career. And even if you clear, the professional life is going to be very challenging.



Cheers !!

You cannot compare apples and oranges. IITs are considered to be one of the most premier institutes in India. They are are meant for people with an inclinatin towards STEM subjects or to be more precise, Engineering. You get an engineering degree if you pass out from IIT Btech programmes.



For Civil Services, you need to be a graduate in any discipline which can also be BTech/Engineering. Civil Services Exam is conducted by the Union Public Services Commission for recruitment to various Civil Services of the Govt. of India including the IAS, IPS, IFS among others.



There are many IITians who have opted for Civil Services as it gives them a chance to serve the nation, if that is where ones interest lies.



So to summarize, you need a degree like a BSc, BA, BCom, BTect (form IIT or any other recognised university/Institute) etc to appear for Civil Services Examination

Please do read UPSE CSE for full details.

IIT's and CIVIL SERVICES are tottaly two diffrent steams that cannot be compared. IIT's are the most primer institutes of the Indian education system which produce the best scholars every year as you can take examples of Sundar Pichai Ceo of Google. Apart from this many IITians have cleared the Civil Services examination and earned fame in their jobs ex. Kiran bedi.

Hello V.K, There is nothing better than Civil Services... People demands IIT because it provides good package + Job in foreign nation thats all... whereas CS (Civil service) though it don't give that much package but gives alot reputation + is indian's toughest exam... and after months of preparation, there is no surety of clearing exam... so, thats all

IIT in todays scenario is just pursued by people due to its name tag. no doubt that the finest engineers get admission in IITs, nowadays even after graduating from IITs people are not landing with any jobs and hav to take up small jobs to support their families. it is highly respectable and requires a lot of knowledge. whereas civil services is the highest cadre in the government and cannot be compared o any other job.  alongwith permanenet job security, it gives a status, honour and a good lifestyle. its not easy to crack civil services, but once cracked, it does make life easy. choice is yours. depends on your needs and your passion. goodluck!

Hi Student

Those who are passionate about technology go for IIT's, Some go for good packages and some go due to peer pressure.

IIT better than Civil Service? Of course NO

Civil Service is the most respectable job in India with a lot of power in hand.

You need to decide, what you want to be in life.

All the best!!

Dear Student,

Choosing the course totally depends on your interest and type of job you want to do in future. Select a course according to your skill so that you can grow in your field and perform better.

You can earn both money and respect in both the streams.

If you are interested in administrative department of the government of India you can go for civil services but the job will be very challenging but you can earn good. IAS officer works as a Class - 1 Gazatted Officer appointed by the President of India. Once you are in IIT, you can always earn well and maintain your tag as an IIT Engineer as it is one of the most premier and prestigious institutes.

At the end, I will like to suggest you don't run for money. Choose the course which suits you then only you can make a change in your life and you will get success in your field.

Be determined and self motivated which ever course you choose and perform well.

All the Best for your future!!

And you can't compare any two field like civil services since not everyone wants a government job , many wants to do their further studies in foreign or work in multinational companies and many go for research purposes. Civil service is aslo one of the most reputed job in India ,many after IIT go for upsc , so it's your choice totally

The main quality of IIT is the environment of reaserch there , since all the students and professors there are very brilliant and hard working. Moreover iits have best campus than any other colleges. And also placement of iits are very good , and IIT is college of national importance

IIT is after 12th buddy and CIVIL SERVICES after graduation and level of both exam is equal.
