SELECTION PROCESS FOR UPSC CIVIL SERVICES EXAMINATION 2023
The selection process for the UPSC Civil Services Examination 2023 consists of three stages:
Preliminary Examination: The first stage is the Preliminary Examination, also known as the Civil Services Prelims. It is an objective-type exam comprising two papers: General Studies (Paper-I) and Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) (Paper-II). The Preliminary Examination serves as a screening test, and the marks obtained in this stage are not counted for the final merit list. Candidates who qualify the Prelims are eligible to appear for the Main Examination.
Main Examination: The second stage is the Main Examination, which is a written examination consisting of nine papers. The papers include Essay, General Studies (four papers), Optional Subject (two papers), and two language papers (qualifying in nature). The Main Examination is descriptive in nature and evaluates the candidate's comprehensive knowledge and analytical skills. The marks obtained in the Main Examination, along with the Interview, are considered for the final selection.
Personal Interview (Personality Test): The third and final stage is the Personal Interview, also known as the Personality Test. Candidates who qualify the Main Examination are shortlisted for the Interview based on their performance and merit. The Interview assesses the candidate's personality traits, communication skills, leadership qualities, and overall suitability for a career in civil services. The Interview carries a significant weightage in the final selection process.
It's important to note that the marks obtained in the Main Examination and the Interview are considered for the final merit list. The Preliminary Examination is a qualifying stage, and candidates need to secure the minimum qualifying marks to proceed to the Main Examination. The final selection of candidates is based on their overall performance in the Main Examination and the Interview, subject to fulfilling the eligibility criteria and medical standards set by the UPSC.

The eligibility criteria for the Civil Service Exam 2023 include educational qualifications, age limits, and nationality requirements. Generally, candidates must hold a bachelor's degree from a recognized university and must be between 21 and 32 years of age (relaxation in age limits for reserved categories). The detailed eligibility criteria can be found in the official notification issued by the UPSC.
