Section I of
Civil Services 2003 - Appendix I |
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
450 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 a year will be eligibe for admission to the Main
Examination of that year provided they are otherwise eligible for admission to
the Main Examination.
3. The Main Examination will consist of a written
examination and an interview 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. Also see Note (ii) under para I of Section II (B).
4. 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 an interview for a
Personality Test vide sub-section �C� of Section II. However, the papers on
Indian Languages and English will be of qualifying nature. Also see Note (ii)
under para 1 of Section II (B). The marks obtained in these papers will not be
counted for ranking. The number of candidates to be summoned for interview will
be about twice the number of vacancies to be filled. The interview will carry
300 marks (with no minimum qualifying marks).
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.

Hall.
C. Interview
test
The candidate will be interviewed by a Board who
will have before them a record of his career. He will be asked questions on
matters of general interest. The object of the interview is to assess the
personal suitability of the candidate for a career in public service by a Board
of competent and unbiased observers. The test is intended to judge the mental
calibre of a candidate. In broad terms this is really an assessment of not only
his intellectual qualities but also social traits and his interest in current
affairs. Some of the qualities to be judged are mental alertness, critical
powers of assimilation, clear and logical exposition, balance of judgement,
variety and depth of interest, ability for social cohesion and leadership,
intellectual and moral integrity.
2. The technique of the interview is not that of
a strict cross-examination but of a natural, though directed and purposive
conversation, which is intended to reveal the mental qualities of the
candidate.
3. The interview test is not intended to be a
test either of the specialised or general knowledge of the candidates which has
been already tested through their written papers. Candidates are expected to
have taken an intelligent interest not only in their special subjects of
academic study but also in the events which are happening around them both
within and outside their own state or country as well as in modern currents of
thought and in new discoveries which should rouse the curiosity of well educated
youth.
