The Indian Economic Service (IES) is a specialized civil service in India that focuses on economic analysis and policy-making. Established in 1961, it aims to provide expert advice on economic issues to the government. IES officers are involved in various sectors, including agriculture, industry, and finance, helping to shape economic policies and programs. To become an IES officer, candidates must pass the Indian Economic Service Examination, conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). Successful candidates are trained in economic theory, statistics, and research methods, equipping them to address complex economic challenges and contribute to national development.
