Hello dear !

Well , I'll briefly explain about UPSC examination.

Civil services examination is a national wide competitive examination in India is conducted by Union public service commission for recruitment to higher civil services of the government of india .

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:-

1.Genral category candidates- 6 attempts

2.OBC - 9

3. Sc/St - unlimited attempts till age 37

Appearing to one attempt one of the papers in the preliminary examination is counted as attempt t, including disqualification/ cancellation of candidate.

Every year cut off varies depending on the vacancies

Hope its helpful

Any queries drop down in the comment box

Good luck
