UPSC needs time to release the model paper: Civil Services exam to be delayed by a month

Hyderabad,31st Oct: The Civil Services examinations next year will be delayed by a month. The preliminary test will be held on June 12 and the Mains on October 29, 2011 as per the schedule announced on Thursday.
The notification for the 2011 exam will be released on February 19, 2011. Generally the notification comes out every December for the exam to be held the following year. The delay of two months in the issue of notification is apparently due to the changes brought in the pattern and the syllabus from the next year.
“The UPSC needs time to release the model paper and is perhaps also gauging the reaction of the aspirants to the changes announced,” feels V. Gopala Krishna, Director, Brain Tree. He, however, feels the results may be released as usual in the first week of August.
He advices students to focus on completing preparation for their optionals well before the preliminary examination as the gap between the preliminary result and the Main examination will be hardly two months.
