Q to anyone who's filled in the DAF....
Page 11 of DAF instructions says in bold "Note: Candidates are advised not to sign on summary sheet , which is a part of DAF." And then the DAF Summary sheet in final print has field for Candidate signatureat the bottom (as is the case with rest of the DAF). I guess someone forgot to exclude that field from the summary part of DAF. But my Q being, should we simply ignore the field and not sign as per instructions or sign in any case (whats the big deal). I am more inclined to the former (not signing).
Any comments?

Why 5th preference to IFS? How do people tackle questions on low preference in the interview? 5th preference means no to IFS, I think interviewers understand this when they see it as 3rd (as Don has) or 5th pref. If they ask why so? - want to serve the nation and ppl while living among them. (too idealistic answer?)

Yep, from all that I gather, if you are interested in IFS, it has to be the first choice. Correct me, but I am under the impression that post results/ranks, first preference is given to MoEA who picks the guys with first choice as IFS and so on, meaning a guy ranked lower than you may get IFS if he ranked it among his higher choices and you did not.
Reasons can range from anything and everything as Yatri mentioned.

Was curious because IFS doesn't figure in my preferences too.

Himanshu bro till 2012 UPSC always asked 'Attestation' of certificates from a gazetted officer, last year they changed the instructions n gv both option i.e self certification or attestation n following tht i sent them attested certificates last year. This year confusion is coz Mr.PM also highlighted the self certification issue n UPSC on similar lines mentioned it in instruction(but as usual the instruction is not clear, at least to me). i too got confused coz of this but finally i sending self certified documents....nothing to be worried as according to my personal experience,in case they require something else they will send u a letter or during interview they will ask u to sign an affidavit....Moral of the story UPSC never reject any mains form if the candidate has furnished genuine details n hv proof for all... *reason for this long explanation i too asked this query on different forums but except @yatri reply din get any clarification from any one... hope this helps u...ATB

Service preference is individual choice....but one should be pragmatic too n also look one's personality traits for filling service options... IFS is my first option, if u really want to know if's n but's of a particular service ask any mid career serving officer he/she can guide u the best but remember not to influence by new entrants or top level officer....

Yes you are right, IFS is not my first choice as one the reason why I am appearing in this exam is to return back.....Indian is gaining super power status now a days and I am sure IFS is going to gain from it.....the only thing is IFS is a bit overburdened service, they should hire more people every year.

Well, it's due to family commitments, no other reason. Want to be within reach of my parents, else I have no issues with IFS.
