Every year, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) conducts the Civil Services Examination in three stages: prelims, mains, and a personality test/interview, spanning almost a year. While each phase has its significant role, the UPSC Mains holds the ultimate decision-making authority in selecting candidates.
Preliminary Examination is qualifying in nature, it consists of two papers commonly referred as Paper 1 and Paper 2 both papers are objective in nature and have to choose one right choice from multiple choices given. Candidates who score more than prelims cut off marks call for the mains examination by UPSC.
The Main Examination is designed to test a candidate’s proficiency in a wide range of subjects, including Indian culture, history, geography, politics, economics, ethics, and current affairs. It consists of nine papers (7+2), including two qualifying language papers- (Paper A) and English Paper (Paper B) , and seven merit-based (Marks of these 7 Papers are counted for rank and cut off) papers that assess the candidate’s understanding of various subjects. These subjects include topics such as essay writing, General Studies Paper- I, II, III and IV, and an optional subject chosen by the candidate from a list of available options.
Each paper in the UPSC Main Examination is of a descriptive nature and is evaluated meticulously to gauge the candidate’s depth of knowledge, clarity of thought, and ability to present ideas coherently.
- The language papers are qualifying in nature and require candidates to score a minimum level of competence in English and a regional language.
The merit-based papers are instrumental in ranking candidates for further selection stages, including the interview round.
