UPSC 2022 Prelims The UPSC has announced that the IAS Exam Prelims 2022 will be held on June 5th, 2022. A few key points about the CSE Prelims are discussed briefly below: The UPSC Exam begins with this stage. It consists of two papers: GS-I and CSAT. Both papers are objective in nature (MCQ). CSAT has 80 questions, while GS 1 has 100. For each incorrect answer, there is a provision for negative marking. The CSAT paper is a qualifying exam. Only candidates who pass this paper with a minimum of 66 points will have their GS Paper 1 checked. The marks from both prelims’ papers are not factored into the final merit list. UPSC 2022 Mains The UPSC's official examination calendar has announced the date of the UPSC 2022 Mains. The CSE Mains is scheduled to begin on September 16, 2022. Learn about some key points about this stage of the UPSC exam, which are briefly discussed below: It is a theoretical paper. As a result, unlike the preliminary examination, where a candidate must select the correct answer from a list of options (MCQ), the mains examination requires candidates to write subjective answers. There are nine papers in total, two of which are language papers. A candidate must obtain at least 30% in the Indian language paper and 25% in the English language paper; otherwise, the remaining papers (GS, Essay, and Optional) are not evaluated. The marks earned in the language papers are not factored into the final grade. The candidate must choose one optional subject from a list of 48 options provided by the Commission. There are two elective papers. (Please keep in mind that two papers are based on the candidate's optional subject choice.) While the language papers are worth 300 points, the remaining seven papers are worth 250 points each. UPSC 2022 Interview: The UPSC 2022 personality test dates have yet to be announced. Only those candidates who pass the mains examination will be invited to the UPSC 2022 interview. Typically, the number of candidates who take the personality test is double the number of vacancies available that year.
