    Ethics, Integrity and Aptitude subjects are also covers much part of the General Studies subject in main examination of UPSC ICS and because of it's importance, a separate subject has been decided to be conducted in main examination under General Studies category so this becomes very essential to all civil service aspirants

    Before knowing anything in detail related to this subject you should know the meaning of these topics in which - Ethics means principles in general way which are necessary in the live of everyone and life is nothing without principles so ethics are mandatory to experience the life at every level because ethics takes you under limitations for something that is very good for life.

    Integrity means honesty or truthfulness which is the most important part of our life because if human is living under integrity then he/she can achieve big targets because integrity teaches you how to get anything on your own and make you perfect among people

    Aptitude shows you ability, skill and talent that you have and make you able to use your abilities in right way so you can understand that everything in this paper will be depended on these above mentioned subjects but there may be some different topics but everything will be relating to these words

    This paper includes questions to test the candidate's attitude and approach to issues relating to integrity, probity in public life and his/her problem solving skills to various issues and conflicts faced by him in dealing with society.
