The '''Indian Civil Service''' may be abbreviated '''ICS'''. Before 1858 it was known as the '''Honourable East India Company's Civil Service.''' The service was a cadre of men appointed to administer Indi and may also known as the Covenanted Civil Service. Employees were required to pass examinations to University level and signed a [[covenant]] or 'bond' of good behaviour to serve the East India Company only, as a condition of appointment. The term 'Indian Civil Service' is also used loosely of the Indian public services in general.
