The All India Services (AIS) include Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS) and Indian Forest Service (IFS).

Service allocation for CSE-2010 has not been made so far.

The details of male and female officers recruited through Indian Forest Service Examination are as under: -

Year of Examination	2007		2008		2009		2010
	M	F	M	F	M	F	M	F

The Government has no proposal to give weightage to women candidates for Civil Services Examinations to minimize the gender gap in the All India Services.
