You have probably heard of the replacement of Prelims by CSAT, but instead I am once again notifing you that - On 18th oct. 2010 Government announced the outline of the new Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) and changes in the General Studies paper that would requires aspirants to be as well versed in environmental studies — say climate change — as social development.

And all the Aspirants are happy with this decision, but little worried as it will be first of its knid for them.

However, its feel sad to hear that you missed the chance for apprearing last time. But being a part of this forum you will not be able to miss it this time. Just register yourself as you are still 'unregistered guest' it will take less then 30 secs.

Valueable Advice: Civil Service notification are release generally in 'last week of december or first week of january' last time it wass announced on 02.01.10.
Complete and detailed 5-8 pages notification are released in Employment NEws. So, as I always advice to all youths to conssitantly read that paper, advicing you also. A one stop solution for any government job/entrance/notification etc.

Hi Friend,

All Indian Citizens of age above 21 and with graduation in hand are eligible to appear UPSC exam.

To become an IAS, first thing you need to do is to apply when UPSC releases its notification. UPSC conducts the exam every year. It has three phases.
1.Prelims (Objective type):
It has two papers. One is CSAT, which includes aptitude,reading comprehension, logical reasoning,verbal ability and decision making, and the other paper is on General Studies.
You need to clear prelims in order to write Mains examination which is the second phase.

2.Mains Examination::
Once you clear the prelims, this is evident that you write Mains. This is the most crucial phase of the entire exam.As part of mains, first, you need to select two optional subjects of your interest out of the listed subjects by UPSC. You must be very thorough with these two optional subjects. You need to write one essay paper too,so you must have a very good writing skills.

And after that, you have English literature paper, Indian language paper (Telugu,Tamil,Kannada,Malayalam,Urdu,Hindi,Pali etc.) and General studies (GS) paper.

So overall you write 9 papers in the duration of 21 days. This phase contributes the maximum marks for your success.

3.Personal Interview::

Those who clear mains examination are called for personal interview. This will be in Delhi, UPSC bhavan.You will be asked so many questions about your background, current affairs, why do you want to be an IPS, your opinion about our country, India relations with other countries and so on.


Remember, You just need to clear prelims to appear for mains. Prelims marks are not going to be added to your overall marks. But clearing the prelims is must.

May God help You
