This question was cancelled (#) in the official MPSC final answer key.

Key Points:
• Cadre Allocation and Posting of IAS Probationers:
• The overall cadre management, service rules, and initial allocation of IAS probationers to various state cadres are handled centrally by the Central Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions (DoPT).
• However, once the probationer is allotted to a specific state cadre (e.g., Maharashtra) and completes training at LBSNAA, the actual field posting, district training placement, and sub-divisional assignments within the state are decided and executed by the Chief Minister of the State (heading the General Administration Department / Home).
• *Note*: This question was officially cancelled (#) by MPSC in the final answer key due to administrative overlaps between political executive (CM) and civil service board mechanisms.
• Key Takeaway: Question cancelled (#) in final key; central cadre is managed by DoPT, while state-level postings are decided by the Chief Minister.
