The preliminary event consisted of two shifts and two papers: General Studies Paper 1 and General Studies Paper 2 (CSAT). Each paper clocked in at a punchy two hours. To fuel the curious minds, the UPSC has published the question papers, so you can have a crack at it yourself if you fancy the challenge.
Strap in, because the main event, the UPSC Civil Services Mains Examination, is set to take place on August 22. This portion consists of a grueling nine descriptive papers, a couple of which are purely qualifying. The main aim here is to test your intellectual muscles and analytical acumen, rather than just cramming facts.
What's on the horizon for those who ace the written phase? The final frontier, the Personality Test (Interview). A panel of impartial experts will be on the lookout for traits like mental alertness, critical thinking, balanced judgment, leadership, and integrity.
Are you ready to take the plunge? From June 16 to June 25, it's showtime! You've got to fill out the Detailed Application Form (DAF) to gear up for the mains. Besides the simple payment of Rs 200 (free pass for SC/ST, PwBD, and female candidates), you'll need to submit scribe and assistive device details (if necessary), and upload a gazette notification (if name change is required).
With 979 illustrious positions up for grabs, including Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS), and Indian Police Service (IPS), among others, the stage is set for ambitious dreamers to snag a piece of the action.
