The rank of candidates in the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Civil Services Examination (CSE) is determined based on their performance in the written examination and the interview. The written examination is divided into two parts: the preliminary examination (also known as the Civil Services Aptitude Test) and the main examination.
The preliminary examination is a screening test and is used to shortlist candidates for the main examination. The main examination is divided into two parts: the written examination and the interview. The written examination consists of nine papers, including two qualifying papers and seven papers that are used to determine the candidate’s score.
The interview, also known as the Personality Test, is conducted by the UPSC and is used to assess the candidate’s suitability for a career in public service. It is a face-to-face interaction between the candidate and the members of the UPSC, and it is used to evaluate the candidate’s knowledge, personality, and potential for leadership.
The final rank of the candidate is determined by adding the marks obtained in the written examination and the interview. The rank list is then prepared on the basis of the total marks obtained by the candidates.
It’s worth noting that the marks obtained in the written examination carry more weightage than the marks obtained in the interview. Also, the marks of the candidates are normalized to take into account variations in the difficulty levels of the papers across different sessions.
