    Hi
    According to the new pattern
    English is not compulsory for the mains exam
    you could even write it using local language
    but ofcourse English is given preference
    so prepAre English also as you now need to give the preliminary exam
    so english is must

    this is according to the last news.......
    Changes are regularly made to make the pattern best
    for that keep yourself update from the newspaper


    good luck.......
