Civil Services (IAS) exam to be changed !

The government of India has decided to replace the Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination with the Civil Service Aptitude Test (CSAT), which will test candi­dates for their aptitude and ana­lytical abilities rather than their ability to learn by rote.

Nearly 1.7 lakh candidates take the objective type prelim­inary examination the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) conducts every May for screening candidates.

The CSAT is expected to come into effect from Civil Services Examination 2011.” Prithviraj Chavan, minister of state, personnel ministry, told Lok Sabha on Wednesday.

For candidates who clear t lie preliminary round, there is the main round. The UPSC will push for changes in the Civil Service (Mains) Examination depending on the response to the new format.

The preliminary exam has two papers — the first is gen­eral studies and is common for all; candidates can choose the second paper from a list of about two dozen subjects. The general studies paper may be tweaked, but it is the second paper that will undergo the big change.

UPSC chairman Professor D.P. Agrawal has constituted a committee to work out the details of the papers, the offi­cial said. “The panel will make its recommendations by April-end. Then the UPSC will dis­cuss it with the government and finalize the content.

Watch out for it guys. Prepare and plan from now on , for the next year ! All the best !!!!!

And for those who are appearing this time, get ready to take it off this time itself, else get ready to change gears !!!

Hope those who are preparing /appearing this time are ready with their plan and going well with their preparation.
