UPPSC PCS exam pattern changes, these subjects removed from Mains test list

UPPSC PCS exam pattern: Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) has brought in many changes in exam patterns. With this the selection process will be more stringent from this year.  UPPSC has removed five subjects from the list that the aspirants could choose from for the Mains exam. These subjects are social science, defence, agricultural technology, Persian and Arabic. The candidates who have taken preparation in these five subjects have to take another subject. These changes, however, will help candidates who are preparing for both state and Central services.

The Commission has also made other changes. Now it will be tougher for the candidates to get to the Mains exam stage, as the Commission will select only 13 times the number of posts announced, against earlier 18 times. In the interview round too, the Commission has brought in some changes. Instead of three candidates against a post earlier, now there will be two.

There will be an additional 10 percent quota reserved for the economically weaker section from this year. Earlier on Tuesday, the UPPSC released the notification giving details of the exam exam schedules and other details.  

The candidates should go through the official notification for detailed information. The candidates now have to put more efforts to qualify for the Mains exam and interview. However, the candidates who will get entry into the interview round will have better chance to qualify.
