Hi Aspirant,

UPSC conducts various competitive exams for the several posts of central government department.

UPSC conducts the exam at all India level.

Lots of candidates apply for UPSC exam, so competition will be highly tough.

UPSC doesn�t define any particular bench mark to qualify its prelims exam.

It selects the candidates on the basis of Merit list.

So you should try to give your best performance in this exam.

Work very hard because UPSC civil service exam is the toughest exam in India and second toughest exam in the world after French civil service.
