Question : What Is The Importance Of CSAT In Prelims?

Answer :

  • The Civil Services Preliminary exam comprises of two compulsory papers of 200 marks each (General Studies Paper I and General Studies Paper II). The questions will be of multiple choice, objective type. The marks in Prelims will not be counted for final ranking, but just for qualification for the Main exam.
  • To clear IAS Prelims, you need at-least 66 marks out of 200 for CSAT (GS Paper 2), however high are your marks in GS Paper 1.
  • If you are thinking that scoring 66 marks out of 200 for CSAT is not a big deal, you may be mistaken.
  • We have seen many candidates who end up worrying after the exam. The difficulty level of this paper is steadily increasing. You need to take this paper seriously.
