The Civil Services Examination (CSE) is a countrywide competitive
examination in India conducted by the UPSC for recruitment to various Civil
Services of the Government of India, containing Indian Administrative
Service (IAS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS), Indian Police Service (IPS),
Indian Revenue Service (IRS) among others.

The examination is the toughest examination in India with success rate of
0.1%-0.3%

It is conducted in 2 phases - the Preliminary examination, consisting of 2 objective-type papers (General Studies and Aptitude Test), and the Main
examination, consisting of nine papers of conventional (essay) type followed
by the Personality Test (Interview).

The entire process from the notification of the Preliminary examination to
declaration of the final results takes about 1 year.



For 2013, in accordance with Rule 16 (4) & (5) of the Civil Services Examination Rules 2013, it is maintaining a consolidated Reserve List of applicants as under:



GENERAL: 105
OBC: 88
SC: 13
ST: 04
TOTAL: 210

This means that some applicants from reserved list have scored enough
marks to be counted along with general-merit-unreserved category (total
105).

88 candidates from OBC, 13 from SC and 4 from ST have marks which can
be counted among the unreserved merit list.

If reserved category applicants get a better service if considered under
reserved category, it will be considered as a reserved category applicant.

If the service to be allocated remains same, whether measured under
unreserved merit list (general) or reserved list, then it will be counted
among the unreserved general merit applicants. (Eg: If an OBC candidate
secures AIR 1, then his chance of getting his preferred first service most
probably remains the same, whether considered on general merit or
reservation. In such a case it will be considered as general merit only,
leaving the scope of allocating another applicant among OBC category to the
reservation.)
