Hello Dear, Preparing UPSC you will find it very interesting. Do revise all the topics of History, Geography, Political Science that you have read in your school. Now come to the current affairs section. Do read some newspaper, read the important exam oriented issues. This will definitely help you to score a good mark in UPSC. -

The pattern for prelims exam:
Preliminary Examination: Time duration: 2 hours per paper.
Paper 1
General Studies
100 Questions
100*2=200 marks
Paper 2
CSAT
80 Questions
80*2.5=200 marks
Note:
There is also negative marking i.e. 0.33 for every wrong answer.
Paper 2 is a qualifying paper .One has to get a minimum score of 66/200. (Applicable from 2015)
Hence, only Paper 1 marks count for the cutoff from 2015.

Hi.
No, you cannot take admission in SSCBS because maths is compulsory.
The main courses offered by SSCBS are:
- BMS (Bachelor of Management Studies)
- BBA (FIA) (Bachelor of Business Administration in Financial Investment Analysis)
- B.Sc. (Hons) Computer Science
For all these courses, passing Mathematics or Applied Mathematics in Class 12 is a compulsory eligibility requirement.
