The creation of the Imperial Civil Service of India was as a result of the 1886–87 Public Service Commission recommendation.
Covenanted service was given by the elite top ranks of the Civil Service for the who gave a pledge good behaviour. Lower ranks that took Uncovenanted Service and were recuited in India, be they English, India, or Anglo-Indian.
==Positions==
In the Regulation Regulated Provinces, those that were the older provinces with a long period of settled administration e.g. Madras, Bombay, the positions (after 1858) were:
*[[Assistant]] (to Magistrate and Collector)
==Entry==
Arriving in India in 1830, after 2 years patronage supported training at Hertford(1806-1809) and Haileybury Hertfordshire, England (1809-1858) entrants seeking to gain “Writership” became a student [[writer]] at The East India Compay's Calcutta College, in Fort William, and sought to gain “Writership”.Students were lavishly rewardedwith ₤400 a year, and encouraged to borrow heavily to acquire high status and comfortable lifestyle - often enabling them to stable 40 horses; not unexpectedly this was reformed. Reforms still allowed students sufficient finance to finance the keep three horses and a buggy. Club memberships and mess parties continued to allow them to gain social influence in the capital.
In 1856 the system of appointment by patronage was replaced by an open competitive examination. Courses of instruction and language training were then carried out in England. Young men were deemed to be fit for immediate service so no longer socialised in the capital unlike their predecessors. They would rely on local tutors for regional dialects.
