The Civil Services Examination (CSE) is conducted in three phases: Prelims, Mains, Interview.
The preliminary exam consists of two papers:
- General Studies I
- Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT)
The CSAT paper is qualifying in nature, while marks in GS I will decide whether a candidate is eligible to appear for the UPSC Mains exam.
The exam window extends over a year (from June month of a year to June month next year when the results are announced).
Candidates who clear the prelims can appear in the second stage, i.e. Mains. Candidates who clear Mains are called for the Interview rounds.
