Main Examination
Candidates who qualify in the Preliminary Examination are eligible to appear for the Main Examination. The Main Examination consists of several papers.
Personal Interview
Candidates who score above the cut-off marks in the Main Examination are called for the interview. It assesses the candidates’ overall personality, including their leadership qualities, social traits, interest in current affairs, and suitability for a public service career.
