i want to give IFS as first preference, but worried about my family , as i am the only son I heard that 5 years abroad and 3 years Delhi is the rotation, but in emergency situation is there any options for prolonged stay in India ?or how to manage then ?
seniors please throw some light ..
You can always take your parents along with you. No, its 2 or 3 years abroad, then 2 years in mea. Also, if you want you can avoid foreign postings and stay for in india for prolonged period. Many of them have done that.
but how selection of country is decided for posting? do rank play a greater role in deciding postings?

Rank plays a role in getting you the language specialization of your choice. The language specialization dictates which region you will be posted in for your first 2-3 postings abroad.

5 languages are available every year. French- France, Belgium Chinese- China, Hong Kong, Singapore Russian- Russia Spanish- Spain, Mexico, Argentina etc Arabic- usually give Egypt or Jordan or UAE to newbies In addition some languages are usually available every year German, pourtuguese, Japanese type And some languages are rarer, like Turkish, bhasa Indonesia, Persian, Korean etc. In truth, many languages are available. 2 yrs ago, 16 were available. The competition is only top choices like French & Chinese. Other than that, you mostly get what you want.
So basically you get first 2 assignments in and around the country whose language you speak. If you get pourtuguese, you are sure to get Brazil or Portugal.

pls tell me why chinese embassy is on top priority on same level as french......jst wanted to know....
as per my interest i love travelling...so don't have any problem to go anywhere unless there is security risk....
Reading from the comments above, I find IFS as challenging and diverse as IAS. Main difference being- in the first one you contribute to India's foreign policy and in the second you implement basic policies at the grassroot level and are lot closer to the people.

Because China is the emerging superpower. Tmrw the imp that is given to Obama will also be given to China's prez. Someone who knows Chinese will always be at advantage.
