Every year, fewer Muslim applicants are successful in getting hired as IAS officials in India. Six Muslim aspirants at most might be selected as IAS officials this year. In addition to their scores on the written and personality tests, the UPSC has announced a list of recommended candidates based on the results of the Civil services Examination for the year 2022.

However, it is crucial to note that these numbers are subject to change based on the preferences specified by the recommended candidates and the fulfillment of service eligibility criteria.

The percentage of Muslim applicants among all IAS officials fell from 4.4 percent in 2020 to just 1.6 percent in 2021. Even in prior years, the proportion of Muslims becoming IAS officers varied between 1 and 5 percent, a figure much lower than the estimated 17.22 percent Muslim population in india as per the 2011 census.
