Is civil services preliminary exam going to be replaced by an aptitude test?

yes,

and in my opinion civil service existing syllabus is much vast and more then enough to choose best brains from thousand's of students.

so i think aptitude test is better then preliminary.

In my opinion,it is not so....

Hi,
In my Opinion Preliminary examination is the good idea rather than Aptitude test. The main purpose of aptitude is to sort out some knowledgeable people for any organization , this techq. is widely used in Private companies were they have to choose some selected people from the group of people.
In preliminary examination in UPSC or IES is required to find out the person sound mind rather than there own specialized field, this comprise genral knowledge, verbal quality, history, geography etc.
After all you don't want a non eligible person for public Admin. services.

if the preliminary exams gets replaced by aptitude i think it will become too easy,
in my opinion the present preliminary exam is the best way to select students,because for an technical post why do you require aptitude?
the student should have technical knowledge that is enough

it is great to here it . i think it will increase the percentages of the aspirants and the exam would become more easy to crack.
i hope it works.

yes, civil service preliminary exam is replaced by aptitude test.

I think most of us are getting out of track.
the question asked was whether UPSC Prelims r going to be aptitude test or not. Opinions regarding which system is better was not asked.

According to UPSC, there would be two objective type papers for all the candidates. UPSC has put forward the proposal for aptitude tests so that the ability of the candidate for meeting the demands of civil service could be measured more efficiently. Te aptitude tests will also ensure that the decision making skills of the candidate on an ethical and moral level could also be measured.

UPSC has also plans for lowering the age of entry to the civil services.

best of luck

ya its true but it will be replaced from next session..................

Hey friend
I also think aptitude test are more better techniques of selecting candidates other then previous techniques of civil exams as it will definitely gonna help the examinors to select the people with sharp mind and good knowledge skills.

the notification is out and there is no change in the pattern this year

hi friend
regarding the civil service exam it is yet not officially disclose that the patter changes to aptitude test,so this year the patter will be same as previous year ,so forget about the pattern and start preparing for the exam.

just stick to the previous question pattern for preparation

Hi,

Yes the prelims exam is going to be replaced by Aptitude test. The name is Civil Services Aptitude Test(CSAT) and it ill commence from 2011.
There will be two objective-type papers having special emphasis on testing 'aptitude for civil services' as well as on 'ethical and moral dimension of decision-making.'

Yes, to some extent. this wants the candidate to have all domain knowledge.
