    UPSC: A Two-Phase Exam

    The UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) exam is conducted in two stages:

    UPSC Prelims: Objective Test

    • The preliminary exam is objective-type or MCQ-based.
    • It consists of two papers: General Studies Paper I and General Studies Paper II (CSAT).
    • This stage is qualifying in nature, meaning you need to clear the cut-off to move to the next stage.

    UPSC Mains: Descriptive Test

    • The main exam is entirely descriptive or written.
    • It comprises nine papers, including:
      • Essay
      • General Studies Papers I, II, III, and IV
      • Two optional subjects
      • Indian Language and English (qualifying)
    • This stage determines your final rank.

    To summarize:

    • UPSC Prelims: Objective (MCQ)
    • UPSC Mains: Descriptive (Written)

    Understanding the format of each stage is crucial for effective preparation.
