The UPSC exam consists of 3 stages i.e. The preliminary and main examination phases make up the UPSC exam pattern. The last stage is the Personality Test. In the preliminary examination, two papers are conducted on the same day which are objective in nature. Candidates are filtered for the main exam after advancing from the preliminary round. 2 hours pass during the event. There is a penalty for each incorrect response.
Nine papers make up the main test, which is administered over five to seven days.
Descriptive questions and answer-type questions make up this pattern. 3 hours make up the duration.
