Section I: Plan
Of Examination:
The
Civil Services Examination comprises two successive stages:
(i)
Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination (Objective Type) for the selection of
candidates for Civil Services (Main) Examination; and
(ii)
Civil Services (Main) Examination (Written and Interview/Personality Test) for
the selection of candidates for the various Services and posts.
2.
The Civil Services (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 sub-section (A) of Section II. This examination is
meant to serve as a screening test only; the marks obtained in the Civil
Services (Preliminary) Examination by the candidates who are declared qualified
for admission to the Civil Services (Main) Examination will not be counted for
determining their final order of merit. The number of candidates to be admitted
to the Civil Services (Main) Examination will be about twelve to thirteen times
the total approximate number of vacancies to be filled in the year through this
Examination. Only those candidates who are declared by the Commission to have
qualified in the Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination in the year will be
eligible for admission to the Civil Services (Main) Examination of that year
provided they are otherwise eligible for admission to the Civil Services (Main)
Examination.
Note
I : The Commission will draw a list of candidates to be qualified for Civil
Services (Main) Examination based on the criterion of minimum qualifying marks
of 33% in General Studies Paper-II of Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination
and total qualifying marks of General Studies Paper-I of Civil Services
(Preliminary) Examination as may be determined by the Commission.
Note
II: There will be negative marking for incorrect answers as detailed below :
(i)
There are four alternatives for the answers to every question. For each
question for which a wrong answer has been given by the candidate, one-third
(0.33) of the marks assigned to that question will be deducted as penalty.
(ii)
If a candidate gives more than one answer, it will be treated as a wrong answer
even if one of the given answers happen to be correct and there will be same
penalty as above for that question.
(iii)
If a question is left blank i.e. no answer is given by the candidate, there
will be no penalty for that question.
3.
The Civil Services (Main) Examination will consist of a Written Examination and
an Interview/Personality Test. The Written Examination will consist of 9 papers
of conventional essay type in the subjects set out in sub-section (B) of
Section-II out of which two papers will be of qualifying in nature. [Also see
Note (ii) under Para-I of Section II-(B)]. Marks obtained for all the
compulsory papers (Paper-I to Paper-VII) and Marks obtained in
Interview/Personality Test will be counted for ranking.
4.1
Candidates who obtain such minimum qualifying marks in the written part of the
Civil Services (Main) Examination as may be fixed by the Commission at their
discretion, shall be summoned by them for an Interview/Personality Test, vide
sub-section (C) of Section-II. The number of candidates to be summoned for
Interview/Personality Test will be about twice of the number of vacancies to be
filled. The Interview/Personality Test will carry 275 marks (with no minimum
qualifying marks).
4.2
Marks thus obtained by the candidates in the Civil Services (Main) Examination
(Written part as well as Interview/Personality Test) 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.
