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%.
Link: upsconline.nic.in/eadmitcard/admit_card.php
Many people getting server down error, so try it later.
Warning
- For entering date of birth while downloading admit card: select year first, then month and then date in the end..else it will not get selected.
- any discrepancy in name, parent’s name, photo then send mail to web-upsc@nic.in
- You’ve to tick OMR answers only in BLACK pen. Otherwise you paper will not will evaluated.
- I recommend you bring clipboard. Reason: Sarkaari colleges and highschools have benches have rough surface and holes. It’ll “injure” your OMR sheet while you’re marking answer in black pen.
- if you’ve applied twice, then Use HIGHER REGISTRATION number while downloading the hallticket.
- If your hallticket doesn’t have clear photo/signature, you will have to bring a photo identity proof viz. Adhar Card, Driving License, Passport, Voter I Card etc. and two passport size photographs one for each paper with an undertaking.
- Save your own hallticket PDF file in google drive. So there is no fear of misplacing/forgetting roll number.
| Paper | Time |

| Aptitude (paper 2) | 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM |


With all due respect to people protesting and the reasons. But there is one thing illogical,
They say about saving HINDI, but in all nearly every UPSC paper written or Objectives including CSAT there are both languages. Why protest then?
Subrat , ask UPSC to make paper in hindi and translate in English..if 3/4 passages are in English then also ask UPSC to have 3/4 passages of hindi also.
Madam. already this thing is in regional PSC, like Hindi is in UP PSC , panjabi in panjab PSC, Marathi in MH PSC, If how can a Tamil or Assamese can solve Hindi paper of other PSC or Hindi , if it comes in UPSC,,, If u can solve tamil questions then bring 4 questions of Hindi, 4 of tamil language, telugu and all… Make equality… or give a common language paper and English is adapted by all. My Father is studied from Hindi Medium and He is a Senior Officer and says hamne us zamaane mein kiyaa to in logon ko kya dikkat h . Jo serious hain wo apna time waste kabi nahi karenge… Determination ho to sab ho jata h ,, Ye English kyaa chiiz h
you only read paper in english but hindi medium student have to read in both languages to understand the paper.. , you said determination.. hai ghar wale itna time hindi wale ko ni dete ki pahle jakar 1 year english sikh and then start preparing for upsc.. agar uska family background itna hi strong hota to wo english medium se study karta hindi se ni
you r 100% rit
@English Medium students: It’s not about to remove the csat .. You are saying this only because you are concerned with the English only not the stupid hindi translation which is mentioned in paper .. Why do not UPSC make the paper in Hindi and translate into English.. Then only you will know the pain of hindi medium students .
No issues at all. Jo jo karwana hai sab karwa lo bhayee.. Bas paper karwa do!
very true…totally agree
I agree,, but iski aad mein maximum log aptitude and reasoning ko b hatana chaahte hain jo ki bilkul galat hoga… We know that every one have the required knowledge,,, and wo mains mein sab karte hain, but Intelligence ko check karne ka yahi tarika h ALL OVER THE WORLD… Rest in PEACe
Govt se jyada ki demand karni padti hai tabhi thoda milta hai
Maam, one thing you note, its not english only which is a problem for Hindi medium students, its a combination of Hindi background and Humanities. It is a question of way of learning. CSAT or any aptitude paper tests analytical skills of a candidate. In that analytical skills the vernacular and humanities students stand no chance against those with IIT or reputed engg college background. Make whatever changes you can make, make Hindi as original and translate them in English, still they would have upper hand, I reckon. Its the FYUP which honed them such skills which they already had, aproof of qualifying JEE. Problem with Hindi medium sudents is that they don’t know their Hindi well,I mean as a conversant language. The reason being they didn’t studied it with extra effort ever as they never needed it, while those in English medium had to put extra effort. Do you think 2012 English comprehension were that easy for the English medium. No way. Still people scored decently because they have practiced. But, hindi guys have never practiced analytical skills their whole life. They have more been in the pattern of mugging up. And I know these because I am from Hindi belt and rural background, though studied convent later in Life.
Koi baat nai preeti…. hum hindi bhi acchi bol lete hain……. basicaly, UPSC has ensured that whatever way you play it, hindi medium guys (and girls) are always f****d..!!
Unable to download admit card for upsc,can someone please help.registration id 11424799627
I am not sure why are my comments not getting published. This can be done:
#Simply reduce the weightage of Paper 2: People are making a mockery of Paper-2 and therby gaining easy access to mains. Scoring 100 in Paper-1 needs some taking whereas 100 means a very average score(read below par) in Paper-2.
#Remove the debatable 8 questions that has led to all this chaos.
#Increase weightage of Decision Making.
#It is not justified to ask for removal of aptitude questions as they are of very basic level.
guys this issue really needs a debate but right now we ought to cogitate on prelims issue and concerned topics of gs which will be helpful for everyone…
Aap sabhi ko Pranam,
Mai CDS aur CAPF ki tayari kar raha hu..
1. Aap sab kya mujhe bata sakte hai ki Current Affairs ki tayari kis tarah karu?
Kaun si book 2013 current affair k liye sabse best rahegi?
2. Jagran JOSH me jo e-books milti hai.. kya vo acchi hoti hai prepration ke liye?

Few things regarding protest is not understandable..in apri-may there were rumours about patter change..and then after notification out protest started..
New govt in a situation ‘khaya piya kuch nahi glass foda baranna…’ haha…
Also why committee wanted 2 times extension??
I have doubt delhi based classes role in this protest…
If a student who hav high aptitude can solve problem better than the student who have theorotical knowledge..in all exams..either it is in india or abroad..aptitude is included in thier respectd syllabus..
And if the problem was hindi translation..then why this extreme protest like aam aadmi party?? ?
The translation problem can be solved by application only….
So this is totally not understandable for a student like me..who live in village in north maharashtra…
yea let me explain you dosth….i stay in mukarjee nagar. And before everybody punce on me let me tell u i am an english medium student
gave mains in 2012…. Now this protest started one year back.. but did not gain lot of media attention… now why nobody protested in april??
simple answer……govt was just elected. People expected changes but upsc dint do anything about prelims. minimum score in gs and csat further
disappointed hindi medium candidates. (i personally feel minimum marks shud have been 70 for both papers). The translation is very poor.
steel plant as lohe ki ped…. This is a serious concern. i accept the fact that english is very essential. But due to our great education policy
lot of candidates in hindi belt are facing problems. For some people it may be too easy to clear prelims but for some it has gone beyond their hats.
i know more than 10 people who cracked prelims in 2009 , 2010 (missed into merit list in narrow range) and failed in 2011 and 2012 and attempts
exhausted. All they lost was in RC….. dont forget ….more than 50% questions wer RC …. we are arguing here apti is essential english is essential
etc etc…..but just think for a while….. they grew up in village studied in vernacular language and now they are failing just because of some language
barrier….some thing wrong somewhere right???? maybe there are people who cope up wit language but not all can dio it….it is really not an even ground.
statsitics prove it…. i am not here to argue with anyone… This is my stand….anybody can take what ever stand they want….good luck
apni apni padi hai logo ko dost itna time kaha hai sochne ka,,,,log keh rehe hai ki jo class 10th ki math mahi kar paa rahe wo D.M kya banenge? iska mtlab unki analysis weak hai……paper 4 me abhi se fail hai no empathy….
Steel plant = Lohe ki ped…:) OMG
honesty, integrity and sensitivity.these r the 3 requirements 2 b a civil servant.can it b measured by maths, reasoning etc??? no.that’s why upsc intruduced gs-4.u just say aptitude bt dnt even think wht kind of aptitude?? just petty calculations??? not at all.
sahi baat hai deepaliji
Hello,
Where do you find petty calculations in Csat? Don’t argue for argument sake. GS-4 hi hai jab sab to baqi sab hatwa do na. Kuch b? By no means i don’t want to humiliate the civil servants till date but before gs 4 were they not deserving to be a civil servant? Its not just about apti. Those guys do much better in gs essay interview and everything. So stop misleading.
C’mon that’s the most ridiculous examination pattern i have ever seen. Cram and deliver.. What’s the point in so much studying when you have to act practically keeping in mind all the political pressures, pressure groups and corruption and other vices. When a large percentage of state PCS are being recruited in a corrupt manner what qualities do you expect in them?
gareeb gareeb ka gana laga ke itna salo se to ye neta log apni rotiya snk rahe hain.. tum log bhi yahi gana gaa ke agar apne lie rasta asaan karwana chahte ho to bhayee theek hai.. karwa lo jo karwana hai. bana lo apna scale. Logbag select pehle bhi hote the aage bhi honge. befizul ka mudda bana rakha hai…
PS: The three qualities you mentioned can help being a good social worker only! Civil servant? You an never be honest and sensitive for sure.. And integrity? seriously?
oh come on! yha koi sb kuch hatane k liye nhi betha,nd 4 ur kind info m a science student,govt. school teacher hu in K.V.S.hv qualified ssc,ibps p.o 2013 as well.so CSAT is no issue 4 me.its just m not insensitive to humanities students.whatever b the process ,mehnat krne wale log select ho hi jaenge.nd civil service is not a commercial job,dnt take it tht way.
kya baat…..aise paropkari log kaha milte hai….madam aapke charan sparsh karne ko man kar raha hai…..!
avashya balak! charan sparsh kr hi lo!
OMG!! it means u know multiple table of 7…. u r genius!!! (NVM).. Good Luck for exams.
Badhai ho apko apki safaltaon k lie. main aapke lie koi vyktigat tippani to nhi karna chahta. Lekin jis sensitivity ko apne humanities bacground k logo k lie itna jaga rakha hai.. science ki teacher hoke thoda science walo k lie bhi jaga lijie. Wo bechare bhi bahut kuch compromise karke is pariksha ko dete hain.
m khud ek engineer hu or apna engineering subject nhi le saqta. Kyunki itna humanities ka sara subject b padhu or engineering ka bhi.. ye to nhi ho paega mujhse.. GS m engineering kahin kam nhi ane wali. bada hi betuka lagta hai wo itihas bhugol wagerah wagerah padhna jab bhi ek wastwik afsar ko dekhta hu to in sab ki koi jarurat b hai kya jaur khayal ata hai mann m. kuch b to nhi chahie. Ye administration and management mein kahin kam aate hain m man nhi saqta… Itne dange hote aye hain itihas m kya koi ruka hai bhala? Vibhajankari rajneeti ko bhala koi kuch keh paya hai? Itni apdayein ati ayi hain or ham koi sabak le rahe hain? Arthshashtra ka or capitalism k sabko se kya hamne koi sabak lia hai? Kanoon k naam par garibo k shoshan ko koi rok paya hai? Everything is about MONEY, POWER and POSITION!!
Or isi tarah ka ek vote bank ban ke or bhasha, garibi, or gramin mudde ko bhunane ki koshish bhar hai ye pradarshan. Or bhala 20 din pehle hi kyu bhayee?? Aaj se pehle syllabus nhi pata tha kya? OR UN BECHARO KA KYA JO ISI PATTERN SE TAIYARI KIYE PURE SAAL?? UNKE LIE BHI SENSITIVE HO JAYIYE THODA BAHUT….
namaskaar.
science walo ko boht fayda hota h pre me.mene bs 2 mnths phle pdhai strt ki civils ki.CSAT rha to mere mje ho jayenge.bt yr science walo k liye boht options h,ssc,bnk p.o,even teacher recruitment xm me they hv an upper hand.humanities walo ko civils k alawa kuch nhi milta.m frm sci bckground,2 days me mene pura envi,eco ka sylabs cvr kr liya,sci txtbuk bhi bs 3 days ka kam rha.nd humanities walo ko yhi sb krne me boht jyada mehnat krni pdti h.csat me hindi comprehension ho wth a proper language nt mere translation nd each gs que is also 2.5 mrks or any such reform wl b gud 4 thm as well.
Mam you are a science teacher you forget!! We can’t do it that speedily. Ham 10-15 din lag hi jaega..! Or maybe not everyone is as smart as you. IQ differs.
Or jab UPSC ki bat alag hai to hum kyu na try kare bhayee?
Science walo ka upperhand kyu hai ye bhi to socha karo bhala.. 10wi ki level ka ata hai sab exams m. Hamare education system m science lena hi ek forced featture hai kisi bhi bachhe k lie. m kisiko neecha nhi dikhana chahta but jo b theek thak bachha hoga use science leni hi pad jati hai. Koi bahut bada researcher ya interested banda ya jo reh jaye wo hi reh lete hain humanities ya commerce.
Ab jo deserve karega use hi banna chahiye na kuch b. Competition to competition hai use bhala kyu baant rahi ho bhala humanities-science m?
MR.B…. you have grossly misunderstood why this movement is being actually carried out. True. to scrap CSAT.
but the reason is reading comprehension part and the weightage of 200 marks….
First of all interesting alias!! must say..
My understanding of the issue is not that hollow or insensitive. But it’s just about the perspective i was commenting on.
True that comprehension translation should be scrapped. May be we can have compulsory english comprehension and 40-50+ extra questions with say 20-30 questions of hindi comprehension and hindi general and more of interpersonal skills or reasoning. But the demand of scrapping CSAT is utter nonsense.
Wo garib or sarkari or hindi ka bahana bana k kuch nhi hoga. Sab ko itna to aana hi chahie. And y u guys don’t nderstand? Even if the paper-2 is scrapped you guys will be filtered out in later stages with the kind of attitude you are having towards UPSC. But UPSC can also retaliate later on… So guys ask for your rights but in a democratic manner. There is no point in challenging a well-tested method worldwide. And the revolts we are seeing these days in news are just for petty political gains.
We all know the student agitations are a good platform for the making of future politicians in this country. And maybe with this kinda attitude of “Hamari Maange Puri Karo” you guys can well land into a good position in ABVP, NSUI or may be become an MP/MLA… But a humble request to spare serious students!
All the Best!
Mere ghar ka chapraasi mein yeh sab qualities h ,,, but how to make him IAS? UPSC really needs reform .. mere chapraasi b IAS banega ab to

UPSC celebrates diversity or aisa hona bhi chahiye. gd luck.m leaving al these arguments,bcz being a wrking persn hv 2 wrk harder.gd luck 4 evryone! i pray ki kisi k sath injustice n ho.

@spritibreaker: frnd, I m from vernacular medium (marathi) last time I studied hindi in 7th..I cant understand hindi in upsc paper..and there is no other option for me to learn english..though live in village..I cleard 3 times cds exam..but all the time I rejected in interview.. (gd) I cant speak english fluently..this all ramayan for only one reason is I am also facing language barrier…but I hav to overcome this problem..this is only way..
@dipaliji..: only that 3 things not sufficient..one should also require deep knowledge..analytical ability..comprehensive ability..because.today an ias or ips hav to face much more problems than earlier..
Good, 10 K Likes for U, ye lo ab isse naya taaza example nahi milega Inspiration k liye…. Cheers!
i accept the fact english is essential….. but do i suppose u are awware of the conversions in RC…
the divine UPSC….don knw where they find such translators
after going through above arguements i am surprised if ssc, bank po, nd other goct exam requires aptitude test nd reasoning why cant it be in upsc?
if a person can’t solve the simple sitting arrangement problems nd some direction question does he deserves to be nything
orjo log yahan protest kar rahe hai csat ke liye toh ssc bank po exam kyun bharte ho
or agar csat mein se reasoning hati hai toh plzz all science nd maths backfground students humein bhi protest karna chahiye
mains yaa pre mein reasoning honi hi chahiye
agar humein itni bakwas humanities padhne pe majboor kiyajaa raha hai toh inko bhi majboor karo thoda meths sudharne ke liya

:) hahahaaha, upsc asking the reason to download so many times :) LOL
they might thinking that you are burning them in the protest :) :)
bhaiyon admit card pe sign nhi aaye,prblm hogi kya
whatever the changes are going to be done, it must be done at the earliest. As we are working people and we are facing the problem of availing leave to appear in the exam ,so UPSC must notify the intention. This will facilitate us to plan accordingly. In whole drama we type of people may be the looser.
ya,working people are most suffering frm ths.upsc has done utter stupidity nd govt. even more.
no single official statement from upsc on that much big issue.how much devine institute upsc is who always want to keep things secret…thanks to RTI that it weakened its secretness little bit..working people are most vulnerable now…hum logo ki dono side se lag rahi hai…everything is in dillema….
why working people are vulnerable? exam is conducted on sunday na????
bcz of uncertainty, there is so much confusion.studies ka time bhi kam hota h 4 wrking people,bcz we hv 2 set priorities,concentrate more on sm topics n even leave others.i left current affairs.relying heavily on envi,ecology,biodiversity,sci n history.tht’s why govt. shud make it’s stand clear as soon as posibl.
again am confused…..wat has govt to do wit ur time table??? they are not preponing na??? abt mind set…..its the same for working and non working..
every hour am coming online to chek if there is some decision
do jagha haath kyun maar rahe ho hum bhi toh job chod ke tyari kar rahe hai
May be their argument is right or may not. I donot understand one thing, “Why people are against csat / math only in civils? Its there in CAPF, CDS also. What not! in almost in every exam.” If they want to fight they should fight for everything. This can be taken positively by the govt to change the education structure and language preference in the whole education system and make it uniform throughout the country.
Also preparation of exam is one year process. Logically speaking they should have practiced.
I donot understand one more thing – People who are willing to work in the govt are protesting against the govt. How could India develop if these people are into services where problems come all of a sudden with out any alarm/ notification (:p).

dont change CSAT, change translator
I think Hindi medium aspirants not only have a problem with English section in paper 2 rather they have a problem with engineering students. They thought its easy for engineering student to crack civil service prelim due to CSAT and thus upsc is bias towards technical students. Let me draw few lines here, we all know that in gs papers, most questions were set from history, geography, Indian polity, economics , few from science and tech, n General science . Now, can u find any engineering related topics from the said gs papers?. What if those from technical background ( say CS/ IT ) wants upsc to scrap history, geography, Indian polity, economics, Physics, chemistry, Biology, Environmental n ecology coz they r favoring history honors, Geography honors , Law students, Economics students, Physics honors, Chemistry Honors, Bio honors respectively..
Choose the best option:
1. Current cut-off in CSAT ( 1 & 2) papers should be changed: 80 for each out of 200.
2. CSAT2 should be made qualifying.
3. CSAT Paper2 should be changed completely, removing comprehension parts and including
non verbal and psychometric questions.
4. Remove the whole CSAT2 paper.
5. NOTA.
Watching the news right now. NSUI guys are also on dharna with the aspirants. One of them blaming modi n bjp for present scenario n praising rahul baba s efforts .Politicization of the issue is taking place,this is what i hate the most.
is there any chance of higher sectional cut offs this year ???
No argument please!!!!!
Better give that precious argument time to improve your GS1 OR CSAT..
All the best friends..
May almighty god translate all our dreams into reality..
Let this be our last and successful attempt.
The protests by so called IAS aspirants over CSAT is so detestable and pathetic. I request UPSC to make the paper in hindi or better their own mother tongue to satiate them . They will still be weeded out and beaten because true aspirants always believe in “Labor omnia vincet ” meaning “hardwork conquers all” meaning “parishram sab fateh karta hai ” . Enough of this mediocrity !!!
Pura prelims hi band kar do …. mai mere yaha se 1000 log le ke aata hu…. protest karte hai ….. sirf train tickets aur khane peene ka intezaam kar dena…. LOL….

yar getting the msg part 2 registration not filled
any solution??
desperately waiting for some suggestions……,
Candy Crush khel khel k bor ho gaya,, kab aayega kab ayega 24 August,, paper deke araam karun..
To all dear aspirants…
Jahan tk meri soch hai, at present, CSAT is more important than GS paper in prelm exam because if you score 170+ then there are more chance to go to the next level; Mains. Means CSAT dominates…..
Wht abt GS, Just get 60 around marks, for non serious player, those who work hard whole year, a few, and move next level.
Wht differece appear then, most of the aspirants who studied whole year GS with hard work, like non english medium or who hates CSAT fails to qualify,… means who prepared CAT exams got entrance of the Mains Door.
Now if the debate is, CSAT should ne a part of exam or not…..
Thn why this paper is important when the aspirants in mains getting low marks in GS.
Wht is important first GS or CSAT,… if both, then why they cant taught this subject during the training time. Because instead of GS it tooks less time…
Problm is CSAT creating hyper tension among the GS enriched students, they failed to qualify Prel because of low marks in CSAt.
By the way Neither i m in favour CSAT nor against,,…..
also nt giving Prel this time…. aiming 2015….
Hey there’s no signature below my photograph in admit card. its with everyone or I am in new problem?? please help!!!,reply someone.
Dont worry sakshi u r not into any prob.
All the best..will see ur name in the final list next year.
