The prelims examination will be conducted in offline OMR-based mode in two shifts. General Studies Paper I will be held in the morning session, followed by the Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) Paper II in the afternoon session. Candidates must carry a printed copy of their e-admit card along with a valid photo identity proof to the examination centre.

Applicants are advised to carefully read all instructions mentioned on the admit card, including reporting time, examination centre guidelines, prohibited items, and exam-day procedures. UPSC generally announces the prelims result around a month after the examination. The preliminary examination is qualifying in nature and marks obtained in this stage are not counted in the final merit list.
