Hi there.

IFS officers receive three months of training at the LBSNAA before moving on to the Foreign Service Institute in New Delhi. Desk attachment in the Ministry divisions comes after the FSI Training. They then relocate to the location of their initial appointment as language trainees. This is the first posting overseas. Depending on the language, it could last between one and two years. While it lasts one year for French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, and German, it lasts two years for Japanese and Chinese. Postings are ultimately selected based on the suggestions of the Foreign Service Board, which is presided over by the Foreign Secretary.

Hello,

IFS i.e. Indian Foreign Service is the authority that keeps update and carries on projects outside India. They are provided with high position, vast powers, lucrative salary packages, exposure, etc.

IFS have to serve three years in New Delhi, but then they are posted at one of the 163 countries for three years. After completing tenure in one country they are again posted in other country.

Hope it helps.
