Ans. If a candidate opts an Eighth schedule language for the CS (Main) Examination he will have the option to take the interview in same language or in English.
Q10-After the written examination, on what criterion is the answer books sent for evaluation? Is it on Roll no. basis or based on centre of examination? That is, will a particular examiner/set of examiners get to evaluate answer books only of a particular center or a particular group of Roll nos.?
Ans- Mixing of the answer books received from different venues is done before sending them for evaluation. Computer-based randomized fictitious code no. is given to each answer-book before evaluation.
Q11-Are answer books segregated/sorted based on community of the candidate?
Ans- This is not done at any stage of the evaluation process.
Q12-Can I know thequestion-wise marks awarded to me for a paper?
Ans- In a competitive examination, what is relevant is not the absolute performance of a candidate, but his/her relative performance that in fact determines whether the candidate qualifies and , if so, his/her position in the merit list.
Once the evaluation process is complete, neither raw marks nor question-wise marks subsist. What subsists is the candidatestotal score in a paper awarded at the end of the evaluation process and this award is normally made available to the candidate in due course on the Commissions website through a query-based application software.
Q13-Are there any open Examinations where subject-wise/paper wise marks of each candidate are not made accessible/available to him/her?
Ans. Yes; in the Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination.
This is because the Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination is simply and purely a shortlisting/ elimination exercise to select candidates for the Main Examination and as such the scores obtained in this Examination are not communicated to candidates.
Q14-Can I know the marks of other candidates who took the Examination from the Commission?
Ans- It is important to remember though a Constitutional Body, the Commission’s role is advisory. TheExaminations it conducts are for recommending candidates to Government based on clear requisitions received from Government. Therefore, as regards those who have finally qualified in anExamination, the detailed results, application/biodata forms of all such are sent to the concerned Ministry/Department for all further processing. Therefore, once these results are sent to the concerned Ministry/Department, the concerned Ministry/Department becomes the natural and proper custodian of these results and it would only perhaps be proper for queries pertaining to theresults of qualified candidates to be addressed to the concerned Ministry/Department.As regards candidates who do not qualify finally, the right of information of a citizen has to be balanced against the right of privacy of an unsuccessful candidate who has not qualified for appointment to public service. The feedback received by the Commission shows that there are candidates who do not want their marks to be in the public domain. While a case can be made out for having the marks of those who qualified finally for public appointment in the public domain, no such public interest argument can be invoked for candidates who have not qualified and there is no reason why such candidates’ scores
should willy-nilly be forced into the public domain.
Q15-Is it possible that evaluation/assessment could be affected by the knowledge of a candidate’s identity?
Ans- No. Before evaluation, the Roll no. written on every answer book is detached and computer-based randomized fictitious code no. is given. At no stage of the evaluation process ( including the moderation stage) is the actual Roll no./ identity of the candidate known to any of the Examiners/officials associated in the process.
Q16-If my optionals are Public administration and history,
can Iwrite Public administration in English Language,and history in hindi language
Ans-No, all the papers have to be attempted in the same medium.
Q17-Sir,I am pursuing my B.sc[hons] opthalmic techniques from AIIMS.Am I eligible for upsc?

Q18-I want to ask something very imp for me at the moment. I am from science background in 10+2 and got 83% in 12th but i always had interest in Arts and i want to pursue civil services so i have now opted for the B.A Programme degree in DU with discipline in Socio and Psycho.
Now my question is that will doing a BA programme course make me at a disadvantage when it comes to IAS studies in comparison to a person doing an Hons course in any one of the two subjects?
Ans-From civil services examination perspective, a BA Program (in two subjects) will be better than an Honors program (in one subject). If anything, then you will be at an advantage. Don’t worry and all the best.
Q19-I’m from Engg(2007-11 batch) background and currently doing a job. I am good in English but feel more comfortable in Hindi in getting the things or covering the topics. Since i don’t get much time so it would be better if i understand the things in less time.So I want to know if there are good materials (or correspondence courses) available in HINDI or I should go for English.Also is there any chance of getting good marks in English or the evaluation is same for all languages.I am too much confused, so please show me the right path.

Ans-Dear aspirant,
Civil Services Exam is an exam of perseverance. If you want to start now, make up your mind for 1-2 years of hard work and routine. If you stick to your plan and dedicatedly work towards it, then there is nothing that can come in your way. The exam checks your range of knowledge (and not specialized knowledge in a particular domain) and your ability to interpret/comprehend information and apply it.
Also, start reading newspapers (The Hindu) and magazines (Frontline, Competition Success Review) regularly and analytically from now on.
Do feel free to contact our counselors should you need to discuss more or seek any other information. All the Best.

Saxena commitee and BPL census
The Below the poverty Line (BPL) census, approved by the Union Cabinet, will be an exercise in identifying households that will fit the bill within the poverty cap of 46 per cent of the rural population of India.
It will be done through a set of automatic inclusion criteria and the remaining households will be classified through seven assigned deprivation indicators. The 46 per cent cap is lower than the 50 per cent suggested by the N.C.Saxena Committee. The poverty cap to qualify for social benefits during the 12th Five Year Plan will be decided later by the planning Commission and the Union government. With the modifications of the Saxena Committee recommendations, the preferential treatment to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes has been scaled down, while Muslims have been left out of this treatment.
