Body:
IAS Exam conducted by the UPSC is considered as the mother of all exams, because of its difficult test patterns and
the prestige attached to the cadres for which this exam is being conducted. The Civil Services Exam comprises two
successive stages: First, it is the Preliminary Examinations (Objective Type) for the selection of candidates for Main
Examination; and next the Civil Services (Main) Examination (Written and Interview) for the selection of candidates
for the various services and posts.
The Preliminary Examination will consist of two papers of Objective type (multiple choice questions) and carry a
maximum of 400 marks. This examination is meant to serve as a screening test only; the marks obtained in the
Preliminary Examination by the candidates who are declared qualified for admission to the Main Examination will
not be counted for determining their final order of merit. The number of candidates to be admitted to the Main
Examination will be about twelve to thirteen times the total approximate number of vacancies to be filled in the year
in the various Services and Posts. Only those candidates who are declared by the Commission to have qualified in
the Preliminary Examination in the year will be eligible for admission to the Main Examination of that year
provided they are otherwise eligible for admission to the Main Examination.
Candidates who obtain such minimum qualifying marks in the written part of the Main Examination as may be fixed
by the Commission at their discretion, shall be summoned by them for interview for a Personality Test . Marks
obtained in the papers will be counted for ranking. The number of candidates to be summoned for interview will be
about thrice the number of vacancies to be filled.
Marks thus obtained by the candidates in the Main Examination (written part as well as interview) would determine
their final ranking. Candidates will be allotted to the various Services keeping in view their ranks in the examination
and the preferences expressed by them for the various Services and Posts.
The written examination according to the changes introduced on 23 March 2013 will consist of the following papers:
One paper on English and One paper on Regional language for 300 mark each. This will be qualifying in nature.
