UPSC Civil Services: Economics Prelims Papers

Advertisements

Every year the Union Public Service Commission conducts the civil services examination for the prestigious posts of IAS, IPS, IFS, etc. The exam is considered to be one of the toughest ones in our country. Every year lakhs of students sit for the exam. The exam is held in two parts. The first part is the preliminary exam, passing which the candidates are eligible to sit for the mains. Students can choose economics as an optional subject for the prelims. The pattern of the prelims is given below.

Paper Pattern

The exam of economics is two hours in time duration and the maximum marks are 300. The questions are 120 in number and are all multiple choice types. All the questions are of equal marks. The questions are given four alternative answers out of which only one is correct. Students have to mark only one answer in the separate answer sheet provided. Negative marking is also there in the exam. For each wrong answer one third of the marks for that question will be deducted. For answers left unanswered no marks will be deducted. Multiple answers are also treated as wrong answer and marks will be deducted for it as per the rule.
