paper.
� The questions will be of multiple choice, objective type.
� A set of sample questions for both Papers would be put on the UPSC website
http://www.upsc.gov.in in due course for reference of the prospective candidates.
� The prospective candidates are advised to note that no changes are being introduced
at this stage in the Civil Services (Main) Examination and Personality Test in the
scheme of Civil Services Examination (CSE).
Analysis of the changes in IAS Exams Syllabus:
Sample papers will be provided by UPSC which is good as candidates will not be heading towards a blind alley.

Both papers will be of 2 hours duration which means time management will be crucial factor in scoring.
Roting is out as no more optional paper. Wide study of all topics mentioned is required.
Mental ability, logical reasoning has gained added importance so expect more questions from these topics.
English comprehension is a factor now. Candidates from non-English background will need to vastly improve their English reading and comprehension skills as it is mentioned that no Hindi or other language translation of the passages will be provided in the exam.
Syllabus is more clearly defined now especially concerning Economics, Geography and Climate Change which is again good for the candidates.
Role of coaching classes will decrease somewhat as analytical questions relating to decision making cannot be "taught" but require common sense and presence of mind.
Expect some situational questions as this blog has consistently advocated.
Inter-personal and communication skills will also be tested. So candidates will do well to start improving the same.
