HI!

If you are planning to appear in civil services exam, 2011 then there will be no optional subject in preliminary exam because the Prime Minister has approved the proposal for introduction of Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) in place of the existing Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination. Change will be effective only for the first stage of the CSE from 2011,

Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) 2011 would consist of Paper I and Paper II.
Candidates to appear for two objective papers having emphasis on aptitude and ethical and moral dimension of decision-making
Both the papers to have equal weightage

hey,

The CSAT(Civil Service Aptitude Test) has replaced the Civil service exam conducted by the UPSC as per the updates.it is of two objective papers with no subject as optional subject.
the age limit could be lowered
the number of attempts could also be reduced.
more emphasis will be laid on understanding and analysis than memorising.

all the best

According to the new pattern the prelims 2011 will consist of two papers i.e. paper 1 and paper 2 which will consist of questions from gk/current affairs, english comprehension, general aptitude and reasoning. so there is subject option is available to choose for the prelims exams as it was in previous pattern of examinations i.e. before 2010.

Hello Friend,
According to the new pattern of UPSC CSP which is to be followed by year 2011, there will not be any optional paper exam in the preliminary test and one has to give only two papers which are compulsory and they are:
1. GS and 2. General Reasoning and Aptitude Test which will also consist of question of english comprehension.
