- On 7th August 2016, UPSC had conducted preliminary exam for civil services aka CSAT.
- 16th September 2016, they’ve declared result= within 40 days. Seems a new record for UPSC!
- Total ~15,500 candidates qualified for Mains-2016 against 1,079 final vacancies. (15,445 to be precise.)
- To check your result:
- Official UPSC: Civil services Result Link | Forest Service Result Link
- Alternate Filserver Link (if UPSC website unresponsive, I’ve uploaded same files here)
- Those who cleared prelims, need to fillup a new form online before mains. It’s called “Detailed Application form” (DAF).
- DAF will be available from 7th October to 20th October 6PM.
- Civil Service Mains to start from 3rd December 2016.
- Those who qualified – congratulations.
- Those who did not qualify- this is not the end of the world: Look at the right hand green box for the upcoming exams and for next year prelims, rectify for the lacunas in your strategy.

Hoping for a timely update on the same. And thanks once again.

@sumantK
if u are so confident and u really dont need reservation then u should have applied for the exam in general category and not in obc..useless to brag here about your intelligence..actions speak louder than words..all the best for mains
congratulations bro.
HOPE you’d not opt for “reservation” in DAF and Mains also :) unlike many who go for it the moment they feel they can’t compete with us.
we need people like you . . .
@sumantk
now like prelims qualify in mains and interview also in open category..else reject the post even if u manage to get one through obc category..will u do that??..u dont need reservation u said..then should have filled the form from open category only..who stopped you from doing that?..why was the need to fill form in obc??..to be on the safer side right.. so that if u score well u can brag and if u dont u still qualify the exam in category..thats typical indian hypocritic mentality dude..any ways best of luck for mains
Aspirant babu aapko kai varsho ka anubhav h is field mein …wo dikhta h …samay kam h …gyan baji aur Indian mentality ko blame na karein…mains nikale…haan yadi yeh aapki essay ki tayari ka part h toh theek h …..
thank you …………………………….sir . i am in.
