Share

The number of papers in the State PCS (Public Service Commission) exam varies depending on the specific state conducting the exam.
In general, there are two stages in the PCS exam:

Preliminary Examination – Which we usually termed as PT. This stage consists of objective-type questions and usually includes two papers: General Studies Paper-I and General Studies Paper-II (also known as CSAT or Civil Services Aptitude Test).

Main Examination – This stage consists of subjective-type questions where you have to write according to your intellect and typically includes several papers covering different subjects such as General Studies, Optional Subject, Essay, Language, etc. The number and type of papers may vary depending on the specific state conducting the exam.

After qualifying both the Preliminary and Main examinations, candidates may also be required to appear for a Personal Interview or Personality Test.

It is important to note that the specifics of the PCS exam can vary from state to state, so it is best to refer to the official notification or website of the respective state’s Public Service Commission for accurate information.

The marking scheme for State PCS exams can vary depending on the state conducting the exam. However, generally, the marking scheme consists of the following components:

Preliminary Exam: The preliminary exam usually consists of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and carries a total of 200 marks. Each correct answer is awarded one mark, and there may be negative marking for incorrect answers.

Main Exam: The main exam consists of descriptive questions and carries a total of 1500 to 2000 marks, depending on the state. The marks for each question are usually indicated in the question paper.

Interview: The interview is the final stage of the selection process and usually carries 100-200 marks. The candidates are evaluated on their personality, communication skills, general knowledge, and understanding of current affairs.

The final merit list is prepared based on the combined score of the preliminary exam, main exam, and interview. The weightage given to each component may vary from state to state.

It’s important to note that the marking scheme for each subject in the main exam may also vary. In general, the answer scripts are evaluated by subject matter experts who award marks based on the quality of the answers provided by the candidates.
