[Prabhu nath singh]

New Pattern of

Civil Service Aptitude Test (CSAT)

Preliminary Examination

The present two papered approach of Prelims consisting of a compulsory General Studies paper and an optional subject paper (that was chosen from a list of 23 subjects) is going to change into a single paper called Civil Service Aptitude Test (CSAT). It is no more just a rumour. The format of Civil Services Preliminary  Examination (Prelims) is surely going to change from the year 2011 onwards  according to Hindi newspaper "Hindustan" published on July 19, 2010.

Those who have already prepared according to the present system and were hoping  to appear next year will certainly receive a setback. CSAT too has its own  positive notes and it will automatically eradicate the system of "scaling".

SCALING SYSTEM

Scaling was a complex process implemented by UPSC to normalize marks of subjects  which were highly varying in character so as to bring them at par. After doing  away with optional subject which was said to be mugger's delight and eliminating the scaling system, only those candidates who have high logical and analytical ability will be screened in. It is said that in Prelims those candidates who have easy optional paper have strategic advantage to get through.  CSAT will automatically eradicate the system of "scaling".

 

The pattern of CSAT will be as follows -

  Administrative Aptitude

  Socio-psycho Aptitude

  Political Sufficiency Aptitude

  Global Economics Aptitude    

Moral Science and Decision Making Aptitude

 Regional-Cultural Aptitude.
