==Preliminary==
The pattern of the Preliminary examination up to 2010 was based on the recommendations of the Kothari Commission (1979). It included two examinations, one on general studies worth 150 marks, and the second on one of 23 optional subjects worth 300 marks. Until 2011, when it was revamped,<ref name=pio>{{cite news|title=Change of pattern in UPSC |url=http://www.dailypioneer.com/345874/Change-of-pattern-in-UPSC.html |access-date=10 July 2011 |newspaper=[[The Pioneer (Indian newspaper)|The Pioneer]] |date=22 June 2011 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/604vtHWHW?url=http://www.dailypioneer.com/345874/Change-of-pattern-in-UPSC.html |archive-date=10 July 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> the preliminary pattern was sustained with only minor changes once every ten to fifteen years.<ref name=pio/>

From 2011 onwards, the preliminary examination intends to focus on analytical abilities and understanding rather than the ability to memorize. The new pattern includes two papers of two hours duration and 200 marks each.<ref name=ht>{{cite news|title=Changes in the civil service examination |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/Changes-in-the-civil-service-examination/Article1-711918.aspx |access-date=10 July 2011 |newspaper=[[Hindustan Times]] |date=21 June 2011 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/604rj8vNB?url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/Changes-in-the-civil-service-examination/Article1-711918.aspx |archive-date=10 July 2011 |location=[[New Delhi]] |url-status=dead }}</ref> Both papers have multiple choice objective type questions only.<ref name=ht/> They are as follows:
* Paper I tests the candidate's knowledge on current events, history of India and Indian national movement, Indian and world geography, Indian polity panchayti Raj system and governance, economic and social development, environmental ecology, biodiversity, climate change and general science, Art and culture.<ref name=ht/>
* Paper II (also called CSAT or Civil Services Aptitude Test), tests the candidate's skills in comprehension, interpersonal skills, communication, logical reasoning, analytical ability, decision making, problem solving, basic numeracy, data interpretation, English language comprehension skills and mental ability.<ref name=ht/> It is qualifying in nature and the marks obtained in this paper are not counted for merit. However, it is mandatory for the candidate to score a minimum of 33 per cent in this paper to qualify the Prelims exam.<ref name="josh"/>

In August 2014, the Centre announced that English marks in CSAT will not be included for gradation or merit and 2011 candidates may get a second chance to appear for the test next year.<ref>{{cite news|title=CSAT Row : Marks of English paper will not be included for merit|url=http://www.patrika.com/news/csat-row-marks-of-english-paper-will-not-be-included-for-merit/1021728|access-date=4 August 2014|work=Patrika Group|issue=4 August 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140808022108/http://www.patrika.com/news/csat-row-marks-of-english-paper-will-not-be-included-for-merit/1021728|archive-date=8 August 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In May 2015, the Government of India announced that Paper II of the preliminary examination will be qualifying in nature i.e. it will not be graded for eligibility in Mains Examination and a candidate will need to score at least 33% to be eligible for grading on the basis of marks of Paper I of the Preliminary Examination.<ref name=note/> Those who qualify in the Prelims become eligible for the Mains.

==Mains==
The Civil Services Mains Examination consists of a written examination and an interview.<ref name=note/>

===Examination===
The Civil Services Main written examination consists of nine papers, two qualifying and seven ranking in nature. The range of questions may vary from just one mark to sixty marks, twenty words to 600 words answers. Each paper is of a duration of 3 hours. Candidates who pass qualifying papers are ranked according to marks and a selected number of candidates are called for interview or a personality test at the Commission's discretion.

According to the new marks allocations in Civil Service Examination 2013 there are some changes made in the examination according to the suggestion of the Prof. [[Arun Nigavekar|Arun. S. Nigavekar]] Committee.<ref>{{cite news|publisher=LiveMint|title=PM approves changes in civil services exam pattern|url=http://www.livemint.com/Politics/XiGXMdPHO44qm8728pHIBO/PM-approves-changes-in-civil-services-exam-pattern.html|access-date=25 March 2013 |date=27 February 2013 }}</ref> However, after some controversy, the qualifying papers for Indian languages and English were restored.<ref>{{cite news|title=Govt rolls back changes to UPSC mains exam|newspaper=The Hindu|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/govt-rolls-back-changes-to-upsc-mains-exam/article4533535.ece?ref=relatedNews|date=2 September 2016|access-date=31 October 2017}}</ref>

=== Interview ===
Officially called the "Personality Test", the objective of the interview is to assess the personal suitability of the candidate for a career in public service by a board of competent and unbiased observers. The test is intended to evaluate the mental calibre of a candidate. In broad terms, this is really an assessment of not only a candidate's intellectual qualities, but also social traits and interest in current affairs. Some of the qualities to be judged are mental alertness, critical powers of assimilation, clear and logical exposition, balance of judgement, variety and depth of interest, ability for social cohesion and leadership, and intellectual and moral integrity.

The technique of the interview is not that of a strict cross-examination, but of a natural, though directed and purposeful conversation that is intended to reveal the mental qualities of the candidate.

The interview is not intended to test either of the specialized or general knowledge of the candidate, which has been already tested through written papers. Candidates are expected to have taken an intelligent interest not only in their special subjects of academic study, but also in the events which are happening around them both within and outside their own state or country as well as in modern currents of thought and in new discoveries which should rouse the curiosity of all well-educated youth. The interview standards are very high and require thorough preparation as well as commitment.

==Preliminary==
The pattern of the Preliminary examination up to 2010 was based on the recommendations of the Kothari Commission (1979). It included two examinations, one on general studies worth 150 marks, and the second on one of 23 optional subjects worth 300 marks. Until 2011, when it was revamped,<ref name=pio>{{cite news|title=Change of pattern in UPSC |url=http://www.dailypioneer.com/345874/Change-of-pattern-in-UPSC.html |access-date=10 July 2011 |newspaper=[[The Pioneer (Indian newspaper)|The Pioneer]] |date=22 June 2011 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/604vtHWHW?url=http://www.dailypioneer.com/345874/Change-of-pattern-in-UPSC.html |archive-date=10 July 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> the preliminary pattern was sustained with only minor changes once every ten to fifteen years.<ref name=pio/>

From 2011 onwards, the preliminary examination intends to focus on analytical abilities and understanding rather than the ability to memorize. The new pattern includes two papers of two hours duration and 200 marks each.<ref name=ht>{{cite news|title=Changes in the civil service examination |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/Changes-in-the-civil-service-examination/Article1-711918.aspx |access-date=10 July 2011 |newspaper=[[Hindustan Times]] |date=21 June 2011 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/604rj8vNB?url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/Changes-in-the-civil-service-examination/Article1-711918.aspx |archive-date=10 July 2011 |location=[[New Delhi]] |url-status=dead }}</ref> Both papers have multiple choice objective type questions only.<ref name=ht/> They are as follows:
* Paper I tests the candidate's knowledge on current events, history of India and Indian national movement, Indian and world geography, Indian polity panchayti Raj system and governance, economic and social development, environmental ecology, biodiversity, climate change and general science, Art and culture.<ref name=ht/>
* Paper II (also called CSAT or Civil Services Aptitude Test), tests the candidate's skills in comprehension, interpersonal skills, communication, logical reasoning, analytical ability, decision making, problem solving, basic numeracy, data interpretation, English language comprehension skills and mental ability.<ref name=ht/> It is qualifying in nature and the marks obtained in this paper are not counted for merit. However, it is mandatory for the candidate to score a minimum of 33 per cent in this paper to qualify the Prelims exam.<ref name="josh"/>

In August 2014, the Centre announced that English marks in CSAT will not be included for gradation or merit and 2011 candidates may get a second chance to appear for the test next year.<ref>{{cite news|title=CSAT Row : Marks of English paper will not be included for merit|url=http://www.patrika.com/news/csat-row-marks-of-english-paper-will-not-be-included-for-merit/1021728|access-date=4 August 2014|work=Patrika Group|issue=4 August 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140808022108/http://www.patrika.com/news/csat-row-marks-of-english-paper-will-not-be-included-for-merit/1021728|archive-date=8 August 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In May 2015, the Government of India announced that Paper II of the preliminary examination will be qualifying in nature i.e. it will not be graded for eligibility in Mains Examination and a candidate will need to score at least 33% to be eligible for grading on the basis of marks of Paper I of the Preliminary Examination.<ref name=note/> Those who qualify in the Prelims become eligible for the Mains.

==Mains==
The Civil Services Mains Examination consists of a written examination and an interview.<ref name=note/>

===Examination===
The Civil Services Main written examination consists of nine papers, two qualifying and seven ranking in nature. The range of questions may vary from just one mark to sixty marks, twenty words to 600 words answers. Each paper is of a duration of 3 hours. Candidates who pass qualifying papers are ranked according to marks and a selected number of candidates are called for interview or a personality test at the Commission's discretion.

According to the new marks allocations in Civil Service Examination 2013 there are some changes made in the examination according to the suggestion of the Prof. [[Arun Nigavekar|Arun. S. Nigavekar]] Committee.<ref>{{cite news|publisher=LiveMint|title=PM approves changes in civil services exam pattern|url=http://www.livemint.com/Politics/XiGXMdPHO44qm8728pHIBO/PM-approves-changes-in-civil-services-exam-pattern.html|access-date=25 March 2013 |date=27 February 2013 }}</ref> However, after some controversy, the qualifying papers for Indian languages and English were restored.<ref>{{cite news|title=Govt rolls back changes to UPSC mains exam|newspaper=The Hindu|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/govt-rolls-back-changes-to-upsc-mains-exam/article4533535.ece?ref=relatedNews|date=2 September 2016|access-date=31 October 2017}}</ref>

=== Interview ===
Officially called the "Personality Test", the objective of the interview is to assess the personal suitability of the candidate for a career in public service by a board of competent and unbiased observers. The test is intended to evaluate the mental calibre of a candidate. In broad terms, this is really an assessment of not only a candidate's intellectual qualities, but also social traits and interest in current affairs. Some of the qualities to be judged are mental alertness, critical powers of assimilation, clear and logical exposition, balance of judgement, variety and depth of interest, ability for social cohesion and leadership, and intellectual and moral integrity.

The technique of the interview is not that of a strict cross-examination, but of a natural, though directed and purposeful conversation that is intended to reveal the mental qualities of the candidate.

The interview is not intended to test either of the specialized or general knowledge of the candidate, which has been already tested through written papers. Candidates are expected to have taken an intelligent interest not only in their special subjects of academic study, but also in the events which are happening around them both within and outside their own state or country as well as in modern currents of thought and in new discoveries which should rouse the curiosity of all well-educated youth. The interview standards are very high and require thorough preparation as well as commitment.

{{Politics}}

The '''Commonwealth Parliamentary Association''' ('''CPA'''), previously known as the '''Empire Parliamentary Association''', is an organisation which works to support [[good governance]], [[democracy]] and [[human rights]].

In 1989 the [[patron]] of the CPA was the [[Head of the Commonwealth]], [[Elizabeth II|Queen Elizabeth II]]. The vice-patronship rotates amongst [[Heads of State]] and of Government of the [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth nations]] who host its forthcoming annual Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference. The Association's supreme authority is the [[General Assembly]], constituted by delegates to the annual Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference.<ref>[http://www.wikinewsindia.com/tag/commonwealth-parliamentary-conference/ www.wikinewsindia.com] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151005085040/http://www.wikinewsindia.com/tag/commonwealth-parliamentary-conference/ |date=2015-10-05 }}</ref> The business and activities of the CPA are managed by an Executive Committee, which reports to the General Assembly. The CPA's funds are derived from membership fees paid by its [[Executive (government)|branches]], as well as from two [[trust fund]]s and benefactors.

The official publication of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association is ''The Parliamentarian'', the [[Magazine|Journal]] of Commonwealth Parliaments which was first published in January 1920. The organisation administers the Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians (CWP), a network across the Commonwealth which promotes greater representation for women in Parliament; the CPA Small Branches network, representing parliaments and legislatures with populations below 500,000 people; the Commonwealth Parliamentarians with Disabilities (CPwD) network; and the [[Commonwealth Youth Parliament]], an annual gathering of young people hosted by a Commonwealth Parliament.

The Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) currently has approximately 180 branches and is divided into nine regions: Africa, Asia, Australia, British Islands and Mediterranean, Canada, Caribbean, Americas and Atlantic, India, Pacific, and [[South-East Asia]]. The CPA Headquarters Secretariat is based in [[London]].
