Hello All,
This is the active thread for Forest Service Preparation. Those of you who are preparing for it can ask questions here and connect with co aspirants. I have also tried to compile a guide below with article written by various community members.

@Neyawn Can you suggest one more(other than forestry) popular optional for engineering background aspirant
Agricultural Engineering ! It’s scoring !

@Neyawn Can you please guide me on choosing one optional for IFS? I have one optional sorted out but for second optional I am confused between Chemical Engineering and Forestry.Chemical engineering because I have done my under graduation in it but my concern is its relative performance compared to forestry.
Look the trick to crack a competitive exam with a vast syllabus is by making it easier for ourself to do well, and then actually do well. Don’t do things that increase you workload . You will
anyway have plenty to study .

Geology people have taken usually when they either had it for Civils or had geography optional. But Agri engineering wins because of Scorability.
Take a look at the ifs guide athttps://blog.ForumIAS.com/ifs
It was written eight years ago, by drsheldon and then edited by a user VIP (dfo of Andaman right now) and last year also when I was working on updating it with current year forum members who cleared the exam , some of the things remained the same. And optional choosing was one of them.
