- 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.

Congrats…!!! to all….who qualified PRELIMS…can you please share your strategy for prelims 2017 ?
sir , i am working in CISF as a sub inspector. i always had dream of study in IIM and i have keen interest in econimics . i graduated in PHYSICS in 2013. can i still prepair and compet in cat with three year gap. i have scored 81% in matric , 62% in 12th , 62% in Bsc.
Hi Pankaj. When I came across your comment while going through the thread. Glad to see your interest in CAT. With the credentials you have, you would have to score fairly decent percentile to get a call. With regards to the gap, it generally doesn’t possess any issue as long as you are able to justify it in the interviews. I am one of the CISF wards and have converted IIMs last year.
Will anyone check my roll no 0276190 please?
Sir Ji, my name is sahil. Third year degree complete. Sir Ji main next year main IAS ka exam clear karna chata ho.please sir help me. I have hard work & no compromise study
Thank u sir
