About
This collection provides detailed administrative data on IAS officers over several decades. Its primary purpose is to enable deep analytical study of career trajectories, demographic shifts, and organizational change within the civil service. The dataset is significant because it allows researchers to identify trends in promotions, transfers, and officer diversity across nearly seven decades of Indian governance.
Columns
The data is structured across multiple files, typically in CSV format, which focus on distinct aspects of an officer's profile:
- ias-profile.csv: Contains core officer details, including gender, retirement status, and current or final designation.
- ias-education.csv: Provides information regarding the educational qualifications and the qualifying subject of the IAS Officer.
- ias-experience.csv: Documents the work experience and professional history of IAS Officers throughout their careers.
- The overall collection includes four files related to the IAS data.
Distribution
The product typically consists of data files generated in CSV format. The structure is relational, divided into four distinct files covering profile, education, and experience. Specific counts for the total number of rows or records are not currently available. This dataset is expected to be updated annually.
Usage
Ideal applications include:
- Career Progression Analysis: Identifying patterns, common trajectories, or the average time taken for officers to reach specific senior positions.
- Demographic Analysis: Studying the distribution of officers based on gender, age, and regional origins to uncover potential imbalances or changes in representation over time.
- Temporal Analysis: Examining how rates of promotion, officer diversity, and overall administrative trends have evolved across various political eras since 1951.
- Correlation Analysis: Finding relationships between variables, such as linking an officer's regional origin or educational background to their eventual career success.
- Visualization: Creating heat maps, line graphs, bar charts, and geographical maps (if assignment locations are included) for exploratory data analysis.
Coverage
The geographic scope is focused entirely on the Indian Administrative Service, which operates across the Government of India. The temporal coverage is extensive, spanning from 1951 to 2020. The demographic scope includes critical attributes like gender, educational attainment, qualifying subject, regional origins, and detailed professional work experience.
