UPSC examination is conducted in 3 phases
1. A preliminary examination consists of 2 objective - type papers ( General studies paper 1 and general studies paper - 2 ( CSAT)
2. A main examination Is the next level after preliminary which consists of 9 papers of conventional ( essay) type, In which 2 papers are qualifying and only Mark's of 7 are counted.
3.following is the personal interview.
So the successful candidate will sit for 32hrs of examination during the complete process .
You have wide option to choose languages and optional subjects.
But before all this you must meet the eligibility criteria required to appear for the exam
You will get placed till the end only based on your Mark's required for your category .
NUMBER OF ATTEMPTS:-
