The much-awaited Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) finally happened on June 12. CSAT, which replaced the optional paper in UPSC Prelims (Civil Services Exam) had given rise to much speculation and anxiety among students. Aspirants preparing to appear for 2012 and the subsequent years also had a keen eye on the paper. There have been reports from various centres that as many as half of the registered candidates did not turn up for the examination. But for those who actually attempted the paper, it was a pleasant surprise with most questions coming under the 'attemptable' category. There were ample questions based on common sense and generic aptitude and with reasonable preparation it would have been possible for most candidates to do well. UPSC had to walk the tight rope between bringing in relevant aspects of testing for the first time into UPSC entrance examination formats while not favouring or jeopardising any particular section of the candidates. The balance act, we have

In a relief to thousands of civil service aspirants, candidates for the Union Public Service Commission main examination can now give their personality test interview in a language different from the one they choose for the written paper. English will no longer be the mandatory medium for the interview, even if the examination is written in that language. In a nation where joining the civil services is still considered a big deal, more than 4.8 lakh students appeared for the preliminary UPSC examination this year. The results are expected around August after which the main examination is likely to be held at the year end, in which the candidates' list is expected to be whittled down to approximately 13,000. The list of vacancies would be a fraction at about 1,000 going by the 2010 figures where only the most deserving will get selected. But starting next year, the personality test interviews will be much easier and a relaxed affair. They can even give the test in their mother tongu

As the Preliminary examination from 2011 will focus more on mental ability, logical reasoning, and data interpretation it’s important to have the right books for CSAT in advance. Those r here Note: All the books mentioned on this page are highly recommended by fellow aspirants. I strongly recommend you get hold of previous years solved SECTION-WISE question papers and the Civil Services Exam Syllabus. This will ensure you get off to a flying start in the IAS preparation. Books for Paper 1 of Prelims General Studies Manual (GS Manual) When starting out with prelims preparation it is a must to have a GS manual with you. What is a GS manual? Well it is a all-in-one book for civil services prelims covering all the topics like History, Geography, Polity, Economy, Current Affairs, General Knowledge, Mental Ability, Facts, and more. It is very useful for finding all information at one place. Also many times the standard books do not contain information, especially the latest ones.

Anyone with the right amount of practice and a little common sense can do well. Easiest topic first is a time-tested strategy that should be used to get a good score. The time has come to sit down and start preparing for the most competitive exam in India. Aptitude tests have become an integral part of any competitive examination, especially if it is meant to select the people who would be the drivers of the Great Indian Growth Story. Civil Services Aptitude Test, the new pattern of the Civil Services Preliminary exam, conducted by UPSC, need not cause heartburn among the lakhs of candidates who are set to appear for it. A first step in any preparation should invariably involve understanding the syllabus. Now it is time to shore up your skills with some tips and tricks. General mental ability General mental ability is a basic measure of IQ which is used by psychologists the world over and is commonly found in most competitive exams. It involves tests of verbal and non-verbal ability. V

The Civil Services Examination has been considered the toughest and most selective competitive examination since the times of the British. The numbers speak for themselves. Of about two lakh who actually appeared for the exam in 2009, only 875 could make it to the services. In recent years, the trend for the best and brightest to opt for the Civil Services has continued in spite of the lucrative private sector jobs available. The changes brought about in the examination pattern by the Union Public Service Commission will further strengthen this trend. Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) has replaced the Preliminary examination conducted every year in May as a qualifying exam for the Mains. Now all candidates have to appear for two common qualifying papers instead of an optional subject chosen from a list of 23 subjects. The Second Administrative Reforms Committee, Prof. Yoginder K. Alagh Committee and others have recommended that testing a candidate's knowledge in a particular subj

Dream big and let not failures deter you from marching forward till you achieve success." Shah Faisal, the civil services topper this year, said this on the key to success to youth who assembled here last evening to hear him. "Indian youth should not be afraid of dreaming big. Failures happen but learn to overcome them. In my case they ignite me to go forward," he said during an interactive session with youths including Kashmiri students. The topper, who hails from Jammu and Kashmir was felicitated here by a city-based NGO 'Sarhad', for his success in all UPSC exam. Sanjay Nahar, president of the NGO, said the organisation had been working in Jammu and Kashmir to build cultural bridges between the valley and rest of the country. Courtesy: PTI

The pattern of IAS Prelims examination has been restructured to test the aptitude of the aspirants so that problems related to mismatch in administrative mechanism can be avoided. What comes as a surprise is that most of the aspirants are not even aware of the meaning of the aptitude. The word aptitude is derived from the word Aptos which means “fit for”. Aptitude is the sum of capacity and interest of an individual. Aptitude is also the aptness or quickness to succeed in a specific field of activity. It is a present condition that is indicative of individual's potentialities for future. Your aptitude is your inherent capacity, talent or ability to do something. Aptitudes a set of characteristics symptomatic of an individual's ability to acquire with training, some specific field of knowledge, skill or set of responses. In short aptitude is latent potentialities or undeveloped capacities to acquire abilities and skills and to demonstrate achievements. {Courtesy: upscportal.com}

The difference between success and failure is doing a thing nearly right and doing a thing exactly right. Persistence gives confidence and continued right mental attitude followed by consistent action will bring success. The civil services require a candidate who has the clarity of vision and tenacity in efforts. The modern administrative systems face multiple push and pulls from different directions and challenges are truly diverse in character. As the nature of challenges take new shape, the bureaucratic mechanism has to adapt itself to perform its roles and responsibilities effectively. The UPSC is making continuous efforts to improve the selection process and that is why the syllabus of Civil services Examination has been changed thrice during the last decade. The Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) was initially proposed in the Report of the Civil Services Examination Review Committee, 2001, also known as the Professor Y. K. Alagh Committee Report. The committee, after its study o
