About UPSC

The earliest origins of a civil service in India for administration purposes can be traced back to the period after 1757 . The East India company started the Covenanted Civil Services (CCS). CCS members had to sign covenants with the company’s board.

After the Revolt of 1857, when the rule of the company ended and power was transferred to the British Crown after 1886 the service came to be called the Imperial Civil Service. It later came to be called the Indian Civil Service.
