UPSC conducted the CSE Preliminary exam on June 16 in two shifts for GS paper 1 and GS paper 2. The exam was earlier scheduled for May 26, which was postponed due to the general elections by the Election Commission. Advertisement
Furthermore, experts have said that the UPSC prelims exam was easier this year as compared to the one held in 2023. Deepanshu Singh, an educator and a mentor for UPSC aspirants said, “There were less questions of ‘pair type’, and more of ‘match the columns’ type questions” .
Aspirants who qualify for the cutoff of prelims will have to appear for the Main exam, followed by a personality test (interview) to be selected for the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS), Indian Police Service (IPS) and additional posts under Grade A and B for the central government and its departments.
