Dear Aspirant
New pattern of civil service examination gives equal opportunity to candidates and it mainly now tests student aptitude towards Civil services.So new pattern of civil service examination consists of only two papers of MCQ types. Paper 1 consists question of GS and paper 2 consists question on English comprehension,DI and aptitude.

Now Computer science is not provided as optional by UPSC.That's why you didn't find it in the list.So if you pass preliminary examination then you have to select different optional among 25 list of optional given by UPSC to appear in the main examination.

All the best

dear aspirant,

UPSC conduct Civil Services Exam every year for the post of IAS,IPS, IRS etc. For Civil Services exam you need graduation in an stream with any percentage from recognized college or university.

Coming on your question sorry to say that there is no optional subject related to Computer for UPSC Civil Services Exam. as per new rules now you have to choose only one optional subject. And according to me you must choose History/Geography as your optional subject.

Tips For Preparation:

• first and most important Manage your Time table and maintain your self calm and Cool.
