    Dear friend,

    Whether you want to go into IAS or IPS you will have to appear for an entrance exam known as

    So friend you can give this exam only one time in a year.
    So you need to really work hard for the exam if you really aspire to be an IAS or IPS officer.

    Secondly the number of attempts is also limited which also makes you to really prepare honestly for the exam so that you can clear it in your given attempts.

    Here below I am providing ypou with number of attempts for the exam category wise:-

    general- 4 attempts
    Obc- 7 attempts
    SC/St- unlimited no. of attempts

    as you can see that number of attempts is limited and also you have only one chance in a year to appear for the exam so you need to put all for efforts for the exam.

    Pattern of exam:

    1. Prelims which contains objective type questions

    It consists of 2 papers:

    General aptitude
    general studies

    2. Mains with subjective type questions

    3. interview

    CSAT stands for Civil Service Aptitude Test.

    In civil service aptitude test every civil service is included,there are many others services such as Indian Foreign Services,Indian Forest Services,Indian Revenue Services.

    Now CSAT is conducted only once in a year,hence naturally you can apply for only once in a year.
    It is not conducted more than once,so only once in a year.
