UPSC had conducted Civil service and Forest service (combined) preliminary exam aka CSAT-2014, on 24th August 2014. Here are the scanned copies of Booklet no.”C” for both papers:
In above PDF files, the text is searchable and copy-able, so you can cut-paste-search it anywhere for discussion, google-ing. For example, if you want to find out which passage was lifted from which newspaper/googlebook?
- Detailed Analysis and Topicwise Answerkeys with explanations (for all sets), coming soon.
- You’re most welcome to provide your inputs, answers, observation, analysis and experience in the comments below.
- If you want to discuss then discuss MCQs, (and not cut-offs.) Everyone who had prepared sincerely, and did not risk too much negative marking, he/she has a fair chance of clearing prelims.
- Internet user sample size too short to make any predictions. So don’t lose blood pressure, if Mr.X, Y or Z says he ticked more MCQs than you.

Hello Sir,
I am getting 170 in physically handicap category(Locomotive orthopadic disability). with this marks may I get into the mains.
Its necessary for me to know this because i am woorking in private sector and it is impossible to prepare in such a hectic schedule from der, so I have to resign. I reached till the final stage of civil services last year.
If any one has any Idea please let me know.
my score total 175. category-ST

After almost a week gone and thinking from all the angles about cut-off, though late but i realized I have wasted my time. I’m scoring 203-207 being a general category student and my instinct says I’ll go through. I’m a hindi medium student and want to give my best shot in mains-2014. please guide me about what to read for GS-4 (ethics) as I hardly have any idea about Hindi material. please help me out if somebody can. thank you!!

this stuff of becoming IAS is very easy the only difficult thing is our view or attitudes towards the exam .
Mr. Sheeshpal, your view of becoming IAS is not only encouraging but thought provoking also. I’ll be grateful if you can mail me some tips to crack UPSC exam, for my job doesn’t allow me much time but I still have enough hunger to crack this exam.
For me this is a relatively easy quostien, but has a pretty complex answer. The specialty I have actually looked forward to working with is OB/GYN. I find that the ability of a woman’s body to produce a child, endure the amount of abuse it takes during a pregnancy, and the amount of pain endured during delivery is amazing. The joy of being able to be present as life enters the world is truly one of the greatest moments in life. To me that would be the best possible option. I also would love working in the operating room with a surgeon. I have experienced the OR quite a few times, and have been on both sides of the table. I have to say I would love to work with any surgeon in the OR except for Orthopedics. The reason behind that is the surgery’s are pretty brutal when it comes to the skeletal system. Having been in the OR with an Orthopedic surgeon and seeing the use of the saws, hammers and other heavy equipment in order to perform the surgery just sends chills up my spine. I know that type of surgery is not for me. I think my favorite surgeries have to be that of the abdominal cavity. The specialties that I would least like to work for are few, and for simple reasons. Pediatrics is not a specialty for me since I have four children of my own. My Aunt is a neonatal nurse practitioner and I followed her in high school and saw the good, the bad, and the ugly so I can honestly say I could not emotionally handle that type of position. Podiatry is also an area I could not see myself working. The reason behind this is pretty silly, but here goes, I very much dislike other peoples feet especially if they are not well kept. I know in the medical field you will encounter feet on a daily basis, but I could not mainly work with feet on an everyday basis. My last specialty is Orthopedics for the reasons I noted above about the barbaric nature of the surgeries and treatments for the musculoskeletal system. Its just not for me.
