YOU are 100% wrong? Do u know the numbers of toppers in BE/B.Tech/IIT sit for AIS mains? Just check and write such rubbish. Most of the IAS officers are now IIT's. Although it may be easier to get a job in the State Government, it is much harder and tougher to get a job in Central Government. Please try for urself if haven't tried yet or please ask your relatives to compete in such exams. You will realise. See the developments in Passport/ROC/Customs(Export - Import clearance)/Excise/ Scientific departments (ISRO/BHEL/BARC/DIT/ etc. Everyone is up on their knees to deliver and on time. Nowadays, its a 9.30 AM to 9.30 PM for most of the Grp-A officers. AND there are no timings for some group of officers. It is 24x7. Know it for urself.
