Look if you are aspiring to become SDM or to be a part of Indian Bureaucratic System, then you need to know the recruitment process and entry points.

So, if you want to get into SDM at a short span of time, then you need to crack CSE conducted by UPSC and get into IAS cadre. To prepare for CSE, you need to know there are 3 steps such as Preliminary, Mains and Interview. Preliminary is generally based on MCQ where as Mains is based on descriptive questions. For the calculation of rank, marks obtained in both Mains and Interview will be combined and then the total marks will be declared and accordingly the rank, where as Preliminary marks will not be calculated, its just a qualifying stage, where you need to get the minimum cut off marks to get into the Mains and thereafter Interview.

Preliminary is generally of 2 papers containing 200 marks, where marks of the paper 1 will be considered for calculating minimum cut off and in the paper 2 you need to acquire the pass mark only. Paper 1 contains history, geography, polity, science, environment, current affairs where as Paper 2 contains logical reasoning, analytical reasoning, english and maths.

Mains contains 9 papers where 1 paper is on essay, 2 is on language which is qualifying, another 2 paper is on optional subject and rest 4 is on General studies all contains 200 marks but total marks will be 7x200= 1400.

In the last, comes the interview which is of 200 marks here by the rank will be declared out of 200+1400=1600

The 4 papers on General Studies deals with history, geography, economics, science, environment, ecology, disaster, ethics, current affairs.

The 1 paper on essay generally deals with current affairs and the 2 paper on language deals with grammars from English and Mother tongue language.
