I’ve closed the comment system, because aspirants wasting too much time in debate, rather than studying.
UPSC has uploaded the halltickets for CSAT-2014. No change in exam date. It’s same 24th august 2014, Sunday. No change in exam structure- same two papers. No change in negative marking, same 33%.

Many people getting server down error, so try it later.

No matter if CSAT remains or goes. The engineering students will outshine the Arts students again because UPSC is no more a rote-learning exam as it used to be when people from ARTS used to sail away easily.
ARTS students (who are giving the color of HIndi vs English) , now please open a permanent “Dharna Station” in Mukherjee nagar…
In my view, the govt has behaved in a most irresponsible way in the current protest by students against CSAT. Is CSAT good or bad for Civil Servants is debatable point, though I personally feel CSAT is good, if the share of English RC in the paper2 could be reduced. Here the fault completely lies with the Govt, as at first place they assured the students that exam would be postponed and their grievances would be looked into. However, the govt has taken no initiative to resolve the issue at the earliest in the interest of all the aspirants. The govt should stand by its commitment.
It would be good, if UPSC and govt postpone the exam for 1-2 weeks. Come out with a clear stand of what the future syllabus of UPSC Civil Service prelims would be. Take everybody into confidence and resolve the issue amicably. It doesnt look good when students are being beaten by police for protesting against what they believe is biased.
However, a serious aspirant of UPSC Civil Service prelims should keep aside the controversy and move on with his preparation.
agreed with u dear.
agree with u dear.
Csat english aur engineering students ko boost deta haii feel it always..bcoz jb hum engineering+english medium wale 4 question complete kr chuke rehte hai aptitude k tb non math backround wale 1st me hi rehte hai..i have taken notice of this many a times..and csat is all about speed..which is in our advantage..
Plus i have even heard that hindi mediums ko interviews k time low marks de k discriminate kiya jata hai mostly…and we all know that weightage of interview is much more than it seems by its mark allotment..some even say it goes up to 40%…
I thing we english medium+engineering ones should support their cause rather than confronting them….
Exam abhi delay hua tou bhai apne mains k prep ka time kha jayega yeh…thats worries me more bcoz yeh sbko impact karega….
Okk, if Hindi guyz are fear of Comprehensive section,, Then Government should eliminate Comprehensive section and then go with full Logical reasoning of Higher level like RBI, SBI and Aptitude paper with no more non sense and easy questions like they did in previous papers,,
Aptitude and Reasoning questions in previous papers are LIKE:
” EVERY ONE CAN SOLVE ALL QUESTIONS “
Our constitution has given recognition to 22 regional languages including Hindi.[English is ‘’NOT THE PART’’ of these 22 languages please mind this]. For more info regarding languages… please read the chapter Official Language from the book, India Polity By Laxmikant.
India our country is a country of villages… a country of people belonging to socially & economically weak sections. Firstly, we don’t have English medium schools available in every village and small town of our country. Secondly, even if we have then people belonging to lower middle class and below can’t afford sending their children to these schools. In most of the cases parents of these children are illiterate, have no knowledge of English. We all know that even if we send our children to international schools… the parent of that child especially mother plays an important role in the Childs studies, at least in the initial years say up to 7th or 8th standard. Some poor people fear sending their children in English schools since they think that both the parents are illiterate then who will help the child in his homework and other school activities. Thus they prefer the child to go to a regional language medium school or prefer that their child get education in their own mother tongue.. like Marathi, Hindi, Gujhrathi, Kannad, Telugu etc.. as this will help the child to complete his/her education and yes these are the same languages recognized by the constitution. Even Mahatma Ganghi was of the view that people should be taught in their respective mother tongue.
So in this way some of our brothers & sisters are deprived of English education even in this 21st century!!! And feel low while competing with their English knowing counterparts especially when the authorities/govt. [i.e. their own parent since govt is our ‘’Mai Baap’’] start behaving with them in a discriminating manner.
So have you ever thought of an UPSC aspirant belonging to the above described group…. A child studied from junior kg to graduation or post graduation level in his mother tongue or his regional language like Marathi, Hindi, Gujhrathi, Kannad, Telugu etc.
UPSC conducts preliminary exam in English & Hindi only… Do you know what difficulty the aspirants belonging to other languages face?? Hindi language students are facing translation and other related issues with csat like pro IIT, IIM etc… in my opinion that’s true But along with them what about those who have studied from other mediums.. they can’t even think of preparing for UPSC exams [ as good quality material is not available in regional languages] Is it their fault that they studied in regional or Hindi language schools… These people are already facing discrimination in private companies & MNC’s. If UPSC or other govt. organizations will not provide them with a level playing field or not provide them equal opportunity [as our constitution says] then where this people will go.. Please remember as children belonging to middle class & above have aspirations of becoming IAS/IPS so do the children of people belonging to the socially & economically backward class have.
And why so fuss about the English language?? An IAS/IPS posted in a rural area of any of the States/UT try to learn the respective local/regional language for a better connect with his people… If an IFS is posted to France, Russia etc needs to know the respective official language of that country. Even if UPSC says for IFS English is required then they can make a special requirement that a person well versed in English will only be eligible for IFS posting.
By the way read this 2 articles for more info on IFS.. the links are provided below….
http://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/article555393.ece
http://www.quora.com/Indian-Administrative-Service/What-is-the-life-of-an-IFS-Indian-Foreign-Services-Officer-How-is-it-different-from-an-IAS-Indian-Administrative-Services
In my opinion UPSC should conduct all its exams in all the 22 recognized languages along with English.
Now the csat paper 2 issue…..
The UPSC pre exam is conducted in English & Hindi languages. The main problem faced by the Hindi medium students is regarding translation. They say the Hindi part is translated electronically and thus the Hindi used in the paper is of very high level which the Hindi medium students are unable to understand as that higher level Hindi is not used in day to day life or even in Hindi schools & colleges for studies. Also many a times UPSC provides a complete wrong Hindi translation. Ex. According to upsc..”Union Public Service Commission” A sample of English to Hindi translation is as follows………. Tablet = Goli computer, Steel plant = Ispat poodha, Star performer= Nayak karta and there is many more non sense stuff…[people have proof for the same]
Secondly, though the syllabus for UPSC claims that the English used is of 10th standard level but here also the candidates say it is not less than the level used for graduation. If this is ”true” than how can a student who has studied in Hindi medium right from Jr. KG
to Graduation/Post Graduation and has English only as his second language will compete with those who are from English medium viz.{our urban friends belonging to middle class and above}.
The UPSC preliminary exam since 2011has 2 papers for 200 marks each. Paper 1 is about general studies [history, geog., polity, eco, sci, current affairs, governance, rights issues etc] and this paper 1 syllabus also has relevance in the mains exam [since mains consists of General studies 1,2,3,4 moreover same subjects as prelims but requires a more deep study].
Paper 2 is about Civil services aptitude test i.e. CSAT [Reading comprehension passages with almost 50% weightage, communication skills & inter personal skills never asked yet in the exams, logicial reasoning, mental ability , decision making, Math etc.] with no relevance at all in mains.
Now here with paper 2 the problem arises….this paper 2 is based on the syllabus of CAT, MAT type of exams with which the candidates belonging to the IIT , IIM , Medical & Science background students are very familiar with and students from humanities background are not familiar and hence they find it difficult to compete the IIT ,IIM type candidates. Also quality study material for this paper 2 especially comprehension part is not available in any language other than English. This year’s many toppers claim that they had not at all prepared for this paper 2 and yet managed to score as high as 180 out of 200 & this same guys get below hundred or even as low as 60 to 70 marks out of
200 in paper 1.
For the IIT ,IIM, Medical & Science background students this paper 2 is boon, or say a key to crack the prelims & get a chance to write the mains exam. Though for a student like me who belongs to the urban area & is from English medium with commerce background who also finds csat paper 2 difficult can get 150 plus marks with say a 6 months hardship, as good quality study material is available in English. But what about those lakhs of such Hindi medium rural candidates belonging to humanities background. They don’t even have the quality study material in Hindi required for this paper 2.
Also for the entire UPSC syllabus [pre, mains & interview] the news paper,’’The Hindu’’, is mandatory & is available in few prominent cities and is in English only. But any ways the serious players belonging to any state or language make a point to do read this news paper. So the non English humanities candidates are already suffering from double trouble [reading The Hindu & Csat paper 2]
Paper 1 of prelims i.e. general studies [GS] the syllabus is vast & they say GS paper 1 is everything under the sun!! Seeing the difficulty level of this paper, to score excellent marks…. 160 or 170 or 180 + like what masters of paper 2 score is difficult even for the best candidate who has a good grip over GS subjects.
Paper 2 of prelims i.e. CSAT the syllabus is limited [I have mentioned above what topic it covers]. Also the people who have practiced it during their IIT & IIM or Medical exams find it easy as IIT, IIM entrance exams viz. CAT, MAT are much more difficult than UPSC’s CSAT & hence they easily score 180 + that too without any extra pains.
Another discrimination of this UPSC prelims is……both the papers are 200 marks each, then why UPSC has kept minimum passing marks 30 only for paper 1 & minimum passing marks 70!!! For paper 2 i.e CSAT. Why this difference of such huge
margin… Does UPSC has some logic for this???
I can provide you links of some forums, websites where people are discussing and saying, “concentrate on paper 2 CSAT… that is the key to crack the pre exams and get a chance to write mains’’. Now when such type of people pass the prelims they suffer in mains due to their loose grip on the core GS topics and score less marks in mains GS papers [paper 1,2,3&4] & hence the low cut off year by year. Even this years toppers have scored around minimum 60 to maximum 75 or 80 per GS paper out of 250 marks that are allotted for each GS paper… on an average it is less than 30%!!! Per general studies paper. Are this toppers!!! IAS!!!
And yes to check the English language skills of the candidate… they already have a complete English language paper in mains [I think it is qualifying nature paper and marks are not counted in mains not very sure about this]… then why the need to check it in prelims ??
Don’t you think this is a discrimination they are facing???
Not only Hindi but all other regional languages candidates are facing the heat. Even Nigvekar committee is opposed to csat…
Also if UPSC was so keen to bring in CSAT then they should have done it gradually and not suddenly…. And the points from my side are many more… but I am stopping my self here itself from writing anything more…..
Agar yeh padhne ke baad app mujhse ittifaq rakhte hai… toh kripaya… hindi & Anaya shetyriya [regional] bhashao kay hamare bhaio behno ko kosna bandh kare…….
In My E-Admit Card,Signature is missing….what Should I do now?
Jitu’s speach in rajya sabha was just a delaying tactics .It shows they arent serious abt t issue..he gt only words and no action….i am frm english medium (there is nthing such as english medium anyway …i m hinglish to be more precise donna language hume bas thik thak hai nt master in any)… Translation issue ek bahut bada error ha UPSC ka jo itne bawal ke baad samne aya…atleast uspe to upsc ko khulke bolna chahiye ..even if they dont wanna change t pattern…there r srsly making it a big issue by not addressing it properly…ab log (politician ) bina logic ka isse hindi vs eng ,science vs humanities ,rural vs urban keh rahe hai….yaar ek baat batao…IIM ( being a gov ) IS ALOMOST PURA urban pro exam no budyy protestin abt it….is CSAT ke paper me prob to hai….ispe koi do rai nahi….ab kitna min kerke isse sudhara jaye uspe socha jaye… saala is roj ke political natakbaazi se student r suffering bth eng and other medium…
bro,, only protesters are suffering,, students like me and other 99% students are preparing like they planned for 24 august,,,
Cheers!!
All the best Aspirants. I will be appearing next year. Do well !!!
Some words of advice out of xperience. Take it with a pinch of salt ! ;)
1. At the earliest,finish all the static topics like polity,history and economics. Try to finish all of it within next 4 months. Quiet possible. Also solve previous year question papers.
2. Read The Hindu without failing,everyday. Read it thoroughly. Let it take 3-4 hours,but believe me,it will pay off. Make notes/cutouts as well.
3. Follow Mrunal religiously. Do whatever he says;let it be strategies,books,approaches;anything. Let Him be your God and mrunal.org your temple for the next one year.
4. At the same time,find out your strengths as well as weaknesses and make a customized strategy for yourself. Design it like this is your last chance.
Good bro that u can keep urself away frm these whole debate ( its nt easy for everyone including me) and can conc on ur studies….but recent bakchodi has created ” uncertainty “…. I too wish exam just happen on 24th ….bt ppl who r observing these development on t issue closely( r drawn into it no mttr which side ur in ) dont see this will end soon if gov behave insensitivity …hope everything is sorted out fast and we gt t final “certainty”
Mr. Akhangal,it seems you have some serious misconceptions about the hindi medium students.It is quite clear from your first comment onwards.First of all do not think that these students have any kind of “fear” against comprehension or for that matter reasoning ,maths blah blah blah.It’s not funny and easy at all to protest like this.These are the serious candidates with damn high merits.There are always differences between protests of politicians and this kind of protest.They are not demanding for reservation or things like that(as it seems by your attitude),they just want a fair play game FIR WOH CHAHE KITNA BHI TOUGH HO.got it man??? Do not present yourself as a leader of convent educated students with great mastery over all topics.Gold medals hindi medium students ke paas bhi bahut hain…..now CHEEERS and continue with your preparation.
exactly…
Really difficult to understand whom…these people protesting are tying to fool….as Hindi Medium Students are made to learn English Grammer Rules by heart ,they may not be good in speaking but grammatically they are correct …and Also we cant choose where we are born,but once we are mature it’s for us how we drive our life….CSAT is like any other competitive exam,to be a civil servant you have to prove that u have the potential to meet any challenges and if you really can’t clear the first step and give reason what more to expect in future ….also whole csat paper is not just English Language,there is reasoning and Arithematic also involved…..and If anyone works hard to crack it ..It’s really not that difficult task….
registration num has only 10 letters i believe . urs has 9 bro . Check again

All The Best for everyone :)
I want clarity on the issue. Neither against CSAT nor a die hard fan of it. Bas Jaldi batao k padai karen ya nahi…. Ek hafta aur maang liya. Now atleast postpone the exam by one week.
It seems UPSC is hell bent on tiptoeing the un-populist line. They should have shown some patience rather than throwing caution to the wind by issuing the admit cards. The issue was under deliberation and any action should have been taken after due consideration of everyone’s perspectives.
However, I think the onus of of all this turmoil lies upon our Government. Most of them have hardly shown any intension to cater to the needs of aggrieved student community. Only when the protests have taken a rather ugly shape( The unruly and violent behaviour of students last night cannot be justified under any circumstances) then they have taken cognisance of the matter. They should have exhibited some sense of responsibility by trying to clear the inhibitions related to exams much before rather than just a month to go for the exams. The real guys to blame are these politicians who have approached this matter in such casual manner.
There is not an iota of doubt that CSAT offers an unreasonable advantage to the so called English/Engineers and supposedly elite educated people who carry an image of being well versed with English. I am an Engineer and I have benefitted from CSAT too but I feel for the guys who are staging protests as they have a point. I say this because some really meritorious guys having expertise in Hindi are outsmarted in the Prelims itself, who are otherwise competent enough to clear mains and may be interview too. How is one supposed to clear an exam when the first obstacle itself is made nearly too difficult for him? Have the guys taking exams in Hindi language suddenly become so incompetent that their proportion in Final selection since 2011 has become negligible? This is an issue which needs appropriate analysis and any drastic measure under the guise of rationality cannot be justified.
It is also disheartening to see all the hoopla surrounding such a Prestigious exam on the basis of language. A short term solution might be reducing emphasis on comprehension and addition of decision making questions instead. Any long term solution needs collaborative discussions and taking note of Grievances of all sections of student community.
if csat is introduced in other languages as well…it will be a fair play..i dont know what the hindi people are saying..they have everything in their language…we the other language people are suffering the most…no body is there to raise the matter……….

My application is cancelled even after I sent an appeal to the UPsc along with my Sbi challan(original).The reasons not clearly mentioned but what i feel that when i could not pay the fee through debit card then I returned from that mode an went to the pay by cash mode and accordingly I payed my fee..Then what happened I don’t know..on the website rasons shown as non payment of fee..I am planning to take legal action..Can anybody guide me in this regard..Also checked my debit card to see whether unknowingly i paid the fee twice in the same application but that showed no transaction then wht happened…Can anybody guide me in this regard..
Same problem here dude….may be the bank problem?
What are you going to do now? In any case it is not our mistake..I sent UPSC my original challan copy through offline mode which atleast prove that I have paid the money..Earlier on many occasion Upsc allowed students to appear even after nonpayment of fee which I came to know through the experience of some of friends.But I gave them proof but still..? Any suggestion..?
If in ncr or near by …. Go visit upsc
No, I do not stay in NCR..Talked to them over telphone on 14th july itself and asked whether I have to consult bank also and they said no and told me just proof th offline is enough…and now see..Well,my comment below this page was actually not towards you..Just by mistake..Hope you understood..

higher id.so got my admit card with higher id itself.
can any one post in simple terms…composition of tear gas shell, how it works and ill effect on health..no wiki links pl…
I think Guys we should for now concentrate on the exam as per schedule and leave rest to the political class to decide instead of we discussing and wasting our time on this politically motivated agenda we should rather focus on present , think about it just 29 days left for the exam and if any changes comes more than us UPSC is concerned so my request to all those in against or favor of CSAT may first concentrate on the exam.
