I appreciate that your showing interest to crack the UPSC Examination but you didn't specified which exam pattern you needed. UPSC i.e Union Public Service Commission is Central agency conducts the CSE, SCRA, NDA, IES, I.S.S/I.E.S, CDS, CAPF, Combined Medical Service Examination and Geologist Examination.
