Hello Miss/Mr Anonymous, thanks for your visit on the blog....Regarding the pattern of CSE-2011, as I have written earlier also, no body knows about the exact pattern...However from the news paper reports, there will not be optional paper in Prelims....there will be two papers of general studies....But the exact nature of question papers will be known through the notifications for CSE-2011 exam in the month of December-2010 only...till then, I think you should focus on the mains preparation as there is no change in the mains pattern....After the notification, you can focus on the prelims preparation as 4 months will be more then sufficient as the changes Will be same to every body.....Regarding the polity book, DD Basu is available in the market. If you can't find it then you can refer polity book by Laxmikant or a book by Mr Subhash Kasyap.....further query is welcome...keep blogging...

Regarding EOL....Reply to Miss/Mr Anonymous

Hello Miss/Mr Anonymous, thanks for your visit on the blog....regarding your query, NACEN [IRS[C&CE]] academy has given the EOL [extra ordinary leave] to 61st batch of IRS probationers only....NADT, Nagpur used to give EOL to IRS[IT] probationers every year....But, this practise may be discontinued from this year onwards due to changes in the directions by DoPT [Dept of Personnel]....It may happen that those who will be selected through CSE-2009 will have to join Foundation course and will not be allowed to appear again for the CSE....but it is only an actuarial guess....things will be clear only after the appointment letter of CSE-2009 selected candidates will be given by DoPT with exact guidelines...till then enjoy and prepare well for CSE...good luck...further query is welcome...keep blogging...

GOD SAID NO!!!!!!

Sometimes we wonder why God doesn’t answer our prayers. Maybe this will help.
I asked God to take away my habit. God said, No.It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. God said, No. His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience. God said, No. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned.
I asked God to give me happiness.. God said, No. I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.
I asked God to spare me pain. God said, No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.
I asked God to make my spirit grow. God said, No. You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life. God said, No. I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things..
I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.God said... Ahhhh, finally you have the idea. If you love God, send this to ten people and back to the person that sent it. THIS DAY IS YOURS DON'T THROW IT AWAY May God Bless You, 'To the world you might be one person,But to one person you just might be the world' 'May the Lord Bless you and keep you, May the Lord Make his face shine upon you, And give you Peace......Forever''Good friends are like stars... You don't always see them, But you know they are always there.

Reply to Mr Sam J

Hello Mr Sam J, thanks for your visit on the blog...Regarding your query, IAS/IPS/IFoS [forest] are all India services of our country envisaged in the Constitution of India. Though, they are allotted to particular state by the central government and draw the salary and other benefits from the consolidates fund of that state, but there ultimate control lies with the central government...Although, State government can take some minor disciplinary action e.g. suspension but major disciplinary action e.g. removal,dismissal from service can only be taken by the union government only. Besides, union government does not have any particular cadre for itself of IAS/IPS/IFoS, it draws officials from the state governments only on deputation for a certain period. After this, such officials have to return to their parent cadre...I hope, I am able to clear your confusion...further query is welcome..keep blogging...

Reply to Mr vimal mishra

Hello Mr vimal mishra, thanks for your visit on the blog...I have complete sympathy with you...Now a days, there have been ample evidence of gross irregularities inside UPSC....even one of my friend who studied in English medium and appeared twice in mains have failed in English language paper...It is not possible....There are few remedies available for you....You can go to court and ask for re totaling...but in the past, several candidates have tried this path but of no avail...UPSC will give you some logic and prove your marks lower than cut off....So, for your satisfaction you can go for re totaling, I hardly see any result after that exercise...still, you can try and file RTI as well to UPSC....I wish you a good and heavy mind to absorb this shock as early as possible and search other options...as life will not end with UPSC, in fact it starts from it and even with more bright options....As you are already in Class 'A' job so don't worry at all....I quote here the popular adage " Agar Man ka ho to achha aur agar Man ka na ho to aur bhi achha" ...wish you a good luck...further query is welcome...keep blogging...

Is it absurd marking???....CSE-2009[Mains] Marksheets are out

UPSC has come out with the mark sheets of unsuccessful candidates of CSE-2009 [Mains]....As usual there are lot of discrepancies in the marks given. Some of the candidates got zero [000] marks in essay paper and some of the candidates even failed in the language papers. I came to know about a person who failed in English language paper despite the fact that He/She has English medium in CSE exams....I think that there are gross irregularities and cases of negligence in the evaluation of answer scripts. The honourable chairman of UPSC must look in to the matter and must take some suitable action to minimise these irregularities. It may be a small mistake on the part of UPSC clerk but it has already decided the future of the candidates who had the last attempt....I am publishing the mark sheets of some of the candidates here but deleting the names and the actual roll numbers to hide there identity...the sole purpose is to guide and warn the freshers and the future applicant of CSE...keep blogging...

The changes in CSE-2011...Reply to Mr MANAS A

Hello Mr MANAS A, thanks for your visit on the blog...regarding the proposed changes in the CSE-2011, It is very difficult at this point for any one to guess the exact nature of aptitude test at preliminary stage. However, one can visit the UPSC website www.upsc.gov.in and can download previous years question bank of other examinations conducted by UPSC which have aptitude question papers. However, the aptitude questions in CSE will be slightly different than these question banks...It will certainly includes few situational questions enclosing certain conditions or paragraphs which will test the moral and ethical dimensions of the candidate. For this type of questions, there will not be any standard answers i.e. in black and white...I think you should wait for some more time...Some insider information will definitely come in the market....As soon as I will get something, I will post it on the blog...till then you must focus on mains preparation and general studies from prelims orientation...in any case these changes will be for all...since it is a relative competition, so it will not make much difference.....further query is welcome...keep blogging..

Reply to Mr Rajesh

Hello Mr Rajesh, thanks for your visit on the blog...regarding your query, the medical examination of the successful candidates in CSE is conducted on the very next day of the interview....At the time of interview [when document verification takes place in the waiting hall of UPSC] the medical examination letter mentioning the date and venue is given to the candidate. If the day of interview is Saturday then medical will be conducted on following Monday only. The venues of medical examination in general are : LNJP hospital, Guru Teg bahadur government hospital, Sahadara ,RML, etc.....further query is welcome...keep blogging..

Hello Miss/Mr Anonymous, thanks for your visit on the blog.....Regarding your query, as far as I know, the officers of Indian Foreign Service [IFS] married to each other get the opportunity to serve in the same country.....further query is welcome..keep blogging..

Reply to Dr Sanjay

Hello Dr Sanjay, thanks for your visit on the blog and added information...Actually I replied to the query in general sense [not in detail regarding the citizen criteria] because the query was related with graduation degree from Singapore...still thanks for your valuable suggestions....keep blogging...

Reply to Miss/Mr Anonymous

Hello Miss/Mr Anonymous, thanks for your visit on the blog...Regarding your query, the eligibility criteria to appear in civil services are:
[1] you should be an Indian citizen for IAS,IPS and IFS and for other services kindly refer more details on www.upsc.gov.in ]
[2] You should be a graduate in any discipline from an institution recognised by the government [ UGC( university grant commission)]
Thus there is no need to appear for IIM exam as it provides post graduate degree which is not required as the basic requirement is graduation. Now you need to check out whether the degree which you have from Singapore is recognised by India or not. If it is yes then you can appear in civil services examination.....further query is welcome...keep blogging...
