An approximate 15 vacancies are advertised under IES this year, of which one is kept for persons with benchmark disability (PwBD) in the category of deaf or hard of hearing. This is a decline from 32 vacancies for IES advertised last year. This year, earlier UPSC had said that IES exam will not be held due to nil vacancy, however, later it issued a notice stating that the exam will be held on request from the Ministry of Finance.
As per the earlier notification, only 47 vacancies were advertised that too for the Indian Statistical Service (ISS). The IES and ISS exams are held together, thus a combined vacancy of 62. Last year, a total of 65 vacancies were advertised under UPSC IES ISS recruitment notification. Of the total, 32 were for IES and 33 for Indian Statistical Service (ISS) posts. The IES jobs are aimed at hiring individuals having at least a postgraduate level degree in economics and related fields.
