The UPSC Exam pattern is set by the conducting body, i.e., the Union Public Service Commission. It is a yearly conducted examination and the paper pattern for the IAS Exam has been the same since 2013.
Considering a few years of data, the answer to most IAS from which State is clear. Uttar Pradesh picked the highest number of IAS officers from 2022-2021, while Sikkim produced the least.
Once the Civil Services Exam (Preliminary) results are declared, successful candidates will have to fill out the online Detailed Application Form (DAF) for UPSC Mains on the official website (upsc.gov.in).
The UPSC Mains syllabus can be divided into two parts: 1. Qualifying Papers (Paper A and Paper B) 2. Papers which are counted for merit ranking (Essay, General Studies and Optional Subjects)
The UPSC CSE Mains exam is scheduled from September 15, 2023.
Candidates who aspire to become IAS, IPS, IFS and IRS officers have to give UPSC Mains before they are cleared for the IAS interview/UPSC Personality Test stage.
