to be filled in the year in the various Services

and Posts. Only those candidates who are
declared by the Commission to have qualified
in the Preliminary Examination in the year will
be eligible to the Main Examination. The Main
exam is a written exam, which consists of 9
papers.
INTERVIEW - The number of candidates to
be summoned for interview will be about
twice the number of vacancies to be filled.
The candidate will be asked questions on
matters of general interest. Some of the
qualities to be judged are mental alertness,
critical powers of assimilation, clear and
logical exposition, balance of judgment,
variety and depth of interest, ability for
social cohesion and leadership, intellectual
and moral integrity. Candidates are expected
to have taken an intelligent interest not only
in their special subjects of academic study
but also in the events which are happening
around them both within and outside their
own state or country as well as in modern
currents of thought and in new discoveries
which should rouse the curiosity of well
educated youth. Marks thus obtained by the
candidates in the Main Examination (written
part as well as interview) would determine
their final ranking. Candidates will be allotted
to the various Services keeping in view their
ranks in the examination and the
preferences expressed by them for the
various Services and Posts.
