Union Public Service Commission
Scheme to increase state presence in civil services
To facilitate more representation of candidates in the Indian civil services
like the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS) or the
Indian Forest Service (IFS), the Maharashtra government is mulling introduction
of a Maharashtra Talent Search & Graduate Excellence Examination scheme.
The aim is to search for and nurture talent so that more students from the state
are able to crack the exams.
“The government is considering introducing this special training scheme to have
maximum representation at the national level. A team is currently preparing the
concept note. It should be ready in a week or so. We want to push more students
from Maharashtra for civil and defence services posts, engineering exams and
other central government jobs,” said Rajesh Tope, state higher and technical
education minister.

An aptitude test for civil service exam from 2011
For Prelims, Candidates Will Have
To Appear In Two Objective-Type Papers
Aspirants for the civil services will face a different pattern of
examination from next year as the government has approved a proposal to
introduce an aptitude test in place of the existing preliminary examination
to shortlist candidates for the main exam. Accordingly, the candidates will
have to appear in two objective-type papers having special emphasis on
testing their “aptitude for civil services” as well as on “ethical and moral
dimension of decision-making” under a Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT).
Both these papers — having equal weightage — will be common to all
candidates in place of the one common paper (general awareness) and one
optional paper (any particular subject of choice) under the existing system
which lays greater emphasis on subject knowledge.
As of now, the change will be effective only for the first stage of the
Civil Services Examination (CSE) from 2011 onwards. The second and third
stages — CS (Main) Examination and interview respectively — may remain
the same till a committee of experts goes into various aspects of the entire
system and submits its report.
Confirming the change for the first stage of CSE, minister of state for
personnel Prithviraj Chavan told the Lok Sabha on Wednesday that Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh has approved the proposal for introduction of CSAT
in place of the existing CS (Preliminary) Examination. In his written reply,
he said: “CSAT is expected to come into effect from CSE, 2011.” The proposal
to this effect was sent to the PMO last year by the Union Public Service
Commission (UPSC) which conducts CSE every year to select candidates for
elite all-India services, including IAS, IPS, IFS, IRS and others Group ‘A’
and Group ‘B’ central jobs.
UPSC overhauls recruitment process of Civil Services Exam
"With regard to the Civil Services Examination (CSE) the Prime
Minister has approved the proposal for introduction of Civil Services
Aptitude Test (CSAT) in place of the existing Civil Services (Preliminary)
Examination," said the minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel,
Public Grievances & Pensions, Prithviraj Chavan in a written reply to a
question in Lok Sabha today.
The CSAT is expected to come into effect from Civil Services Examination,
2011.

The recommended candidates have been informed indiv
UPSC: Hints of change
A reformatting of the civil services examination will
hopefully increase transparency in the evaluation process.
AFTER years of dithering, the Government of India has finally
agreed to change the format of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) civil
services examination. The present format had come under severe criticism from
both members of the public as well as from parliamentary committees, and there
had been tremendous pressure on the government to review it. Its shortcomings,
which have come to light following queries made under the Right to Information (RTI)
Act, warranted urgent action.

To begin with, the Preliminary examination, which consists of
general studies and optional papers, may be replaced with an aptitude test, to
be called the Civil Services Aptitude Test. The test will comprise two
objective-type papers, which will be common for all candidates appearing for the
examination. A proposal to this effect has received the Union government’s
approval.
Confirming this, Shantanu Consul, Secretary, Department of
Personnel, Government of India, told this correspondent that the proposed
changes would come into effect next year as the notification for this year’s
examination had already come out. Refusing to disclose any other details about
the new format, he said it was the prerogative of the UPSC, which conducted the
examination, to notify the changes.
A senior UPSC official said that “some letter from the
government regarding proposed changes in the system of civil services
examination had indeed been received, but the exact nature of the changes
approved cannot be disclosed yet”. But going by the speech of the UPSC Chairman,
Prof. D.P. Agrawal, on the occasion of UPSC Foundation Day celebrations last
year, there will be a change in the Preliminary examination format, a

PIB: Special Recruitment Drive for IPS
The Government proposes to conduct a special recruitment drive, open to
serving junior ranking police officers from State and Central police forces,
for filling a large number of vacancies in the Indian Police Service(IPS)
To mitigate the shortage of Direct Recruitment quota of Indian Police
Service(IPS) officers, the Ministry of Home Affairs has proposed to fill
about 490 posts in that quota through the mode of Limited Competitive
Examination in a time span of 07 years. The said proposal has been sent to
the Department of Personnel and Training and the Union Public Service
Commission for consideration.
