Your Answer

UPSC Prelims, short for the Union Public Service Commission Preliminary Examination, is the first stage of the Civil Services Examination in India. It serves as a screening test to filter candidates for the subsequent mains examination. The required educational qualification for UPSC Prelims is a bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognized university.
The exam primarily assesses a candidate's knowledge in various subjects and current affairs. The age limit for the UPSC Prelims is generally 21 to 32 years, with age relaxation for specific categories (e.g., SC/ST, OBC, and others). The number of attempts varies with the category, with general category candidates allowed six attempts, OBC candidates getting nine attempts, and SC/ST candidates enjoying unlimited attempts until they reach the maximum age limit. Age relaxation and other criteria may change from year to year, so candidates should check the latest UPSC notification for updated information.
