dear friend,

Now in UPSC Civil Services Prelims exam there is no optional subject. and it is now called CSAT(Civil Services Aptitude Test). In this two papers paper-I and paper-II comes from general studies, and logical and reasoning aptitude test. Both are of objective type. Civil Services Mains Exam is still same.


Good Luck.........
