The format of the Civil Services Examination, arguably the most competitive test in the country that selects IAS, IPS and allied officers, is set for a makeover.
Each year, around 4 lakh aspirants apply for the exam for about 1,050 available posts. Government is set to
reduce the weightage given to optional subjects by half - from 1200 out of 2300 marks to 600. At the same time, weightage for general studies will be increased to 1200 marks from the current 600.
PM Manmohan Singh is expected to clear the revamped version this week, enabling the Union Public Service Commission to notify the examination that has already been delayed by three weeks.
The extreme variations in scores between optional subjects have been a subject for debate for a long time.
For instance, there are optional subjects such as public administration and political science in which candidates expect to score much higher than ones who take, say civil engineering or mathematics. As a result, candidates end up opting for subjects on the basis of perceptions of scores rather than what they graduated in. The UPSC hopes to reduce this distortion.
The reduced weightage of optionals will be given to General Studies - which is common for all candidates - to provide a level playing field for them. The government had in 2011 similarly revamped the preliminary examination when it had made general studies the focus of the qualifying examination rather than subject knowledge.
The UPSC has a three-tier selection process to select civil servants.
The first is the preliminary exam, an objective-type exam which serves as a screening test.
Those who clear this are entitled to appear for the subjective-type main examination.
About one-fifth of those who take the main examination get called for a personality test...
KPSC also started inline with UPSC from this year so it might be the same case for KPSC KAS Exam also, so we need to look into the ASPECT of General studies more rather than optional subjects, its just my perception to tell you all to study GS More here i am not dictating any one to study GS how your feasible style for you all in to study you can follow that....
India to launch Mars mission this year
India will launch its first space mission to Mars this year, President Pranab Mukherjee said on Thursday.
“Several space missions are planned for 2013, including India’s first mission to Mars and the launch of our first navigational satellite,” Mr. Mukherjee said in his maiden address to the joint sitting of Parliament at the start of the budget session.
The Indian Space Research Organisation will also put in orbit the first of its seven satellites of the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS). The system is India’s version of the Global Positioning System.
The Mars Orbiter mission, scheduled for launch in October, will look for signature of life and reasons for loss of atmosphere on the red planet.
Under the mission, India will put in orbit a spacecraft using the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle. The satellite will undertake a 300-day journey to Mars and is expected to be put into the Martian orbit in September next year.
Mr. Mukherjee said the space programme epitomised India’s scientific achievements and benefits the country in a number of areas.
“The launch of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle on September 9, 2012 marked our 100th space mission. India’s first remote sensing satellite RISAT—1, with all-weather imaging capability, was also launched in 2012,” he said.
