PLAN OF EXAMINATION
The competitive examination comprises two successive stages:
(i) Civil Services (Preliminary) Examinations (Objective Type) for the selection of candidates for Main Examination; and
(ii) Civil Services (Main) Examination (Written and Interview) for the selection of candidates for the various services and
posts.
2. The Preliminary Examination will consist of two papers of Objective type (multiple choice questions) and carry a
maximum of 400 marks in the subjects set out in subsection (A) of Section-II. This examination is meant to serve as a
screening test only; the marks obtained in the Preliminary Examination by the candidates who are declared qualified for
admission to the Main Examination will not be counted for determining their final order of merit. The number of candidates
to be admitted to the Main Examination will be about twelve to thirteen times the total approximate number of vacancies to
be filled in the year in the various Services and Posts. Only those candidates who are declared by the Commission to have
qualified in the Preliminary Examination in the year will be eligible for admission to the Main Examination of that year
provided they are otherwise eligible for admission to the Main Examination.
3. Candidates who obtain such minimum qualifying marks in the written part of the Main Examination as may be fixed by
the Commission at their discretion, shall be summoned by them for interview for a Personality Test vide sub-section ‘C’ of
Section-II. Marks obtained in the papers will be counted for ranking. The number of candidates to be summoned for
interview will be about twice the number of vacancies to be filled.
Marks thus obtained by the candidates in the Main Examination (written part as well as interview) would determine their
final ranking. Candidates will be allotted to the various Services keeping in view their ranks in the examination and the
preferences expressed by them for the various Services and Posts.
