PRELIMS EXAM PATTERN FOR UPPSC 2024

The PCS Prelims Exam acts as a filtering mechanism to identify eligible candidates. It includes two papers, Paper 1 and Paper 2, consisting of multiple-choice questions (MCQs). Each paper is worth 200 marks.

  • The objective of the interview is to gauge the candidate’s compatibility with a career in the state services, appraised by neutral evaluators and a capable committee.
