CSAT 2011 conducted by Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) first time. Civil Services CSAT 2011 Prelims Examination consists of two papers of objective type carrying a maximum of 400 marks.
The prime minister has approved the proposal for the introduction of Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) in place of the existing Preliminary Examination for the Civil Services Examination (CSE).
UPSC : IAS – ESSAY QUESTION PAPER 2010
According to the new syllabus, paper I includes current events of national and international importance, history of India and Indian national movement, Indian and world geography, public policy, poverty and others. CSAT’s paper II will include general mental ability, inter-personal skills, logical reasoning and decision making.
The new aptitude-based test will come into effect from May 2011 exam.
About 1.7 lakh candidates write the IAS preliminary exams conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) in May every year. Successful candidates then have to clear the main exam and an interview to be appointed as civil servants.
This will be the first time that an aptitude test will be held as part of the civil service exams.
The change followed allegations that many students memorised subject-based text material and reproduced them in the exam. The modified pattern will provide a level-playing field to all candidates as they have to answer the same set of questions, the sources said.
Each of the two papers will have objective-type questions that will carry 200 marks and the candidates will have two hours to answer them. The candidates will have to clear both papers.
There were two section first section consist of normal general studies (G.S.) Candidates were unaware of second paper which was held first time ? Many students didn’t appear in CSAT 2011 due to second paper since they were not sure about the type of Paper asked in exam and they didn’t want to loose an attempt in UPSC.
Answer Key and Solution for All the Set of CSAT 2011 will be updated just after the exam… PLZ WAIT >>>>>>>>>>>>
