Can i prepare forUPSC-CSEafter joining IMA/AFA/INA?Can i get a study leave of some months for preparation in academy/after being an officer?

Dear sir, can I get your contact, for some personal guidance other than SSB? nivasram14295@gmail.com

4. As I mentioned earlier a motivated officer can prepare for CSE while on duty. On an average, one can take out 2-3 hours of personal study time daily. But its not possible during the first year of training at OTA.

3. A SSC officer can seek for release at both 5 &10 years of service. Additionally, an officer can quit army anytime by opting for resignation. But its not guaranteed and takes long time usually.

2. Officially you need the NOC before applying for CSE but its possible to apply while in service. If selected then you will be resigning from your rank to join civil appointment.

1. A serving officer has to apply for resignation if desiring to leave the organization before stipulated time for any reason be it selection in CSE. So its possible that a officer can join civil appointment but not a recommended process.

Sure check PM.

Hello Raj, its glad to know that you are preparing for civil service, good luck for that.

Regarding your question, Defence forces doesn't provide, any special study leaves for preparing for other examinations other than their own, so there's ZERO possibility of study leave for civil services examination.

BUT, as an commissioned officer you are entitled to 80 days of annual leave. In addition, you can have sufficient time during working days to continue your preperation. So any desiring candidate can prepare well and devote sufficient time for other exam/studies.

My advice would be to not join the armed forces if your ultimate aim is to join civil services. This will distract you more than too be of any help. Also leaving armed forces after commissioning is a tedious process.

Hope you will find the best way for you.
