New Delhi:
In a major step towards changing the pattern for the civil
services entrance exams, the Union Public Service Commission
Monday announced a new syllabus for the preliminary exam,
replacing the optional subject with an aptitude test.
The new syllabus, applicable for the 2011 exams, will have two
papers. The first will be General Studies, which includes current
events, Indian history, geography, polity, economic and social
development, general issues on environmental ecology,
bio-diversity and climate change - not requiring subject
specialisation - and General science.
The second paper, which will be the aptitude test, will include
aptitude skills including comprehension, interpersonal skills,
logical reasoning, decision making and problem solving, general
mental ability, basic numeracy and English language comprehension
skills of class 10th level.
The second paper for the prelims earlier consisted of questions
from one of the optional subjects to be selected from the
prescribed optional subjects.
