Dear Readers,
As you know, UPSC Civil Service Examination has two
stages. The rst stage is preliminary examination and has
multiple choice questions. For detailed description click
here.
The second stage is the Main Examination. There are seven
papers in this stage. All of them are descriptive essay type
question papers. The number of questions asked in the descriptive paper vary between 20 to 25 and the
total words is about 5000.
Or, if you are asked to evaluate the causes of the French Revolution, you are not answering the question
if you merely list those causes. An essay is satisfactory only if it answers directly the question asked.
In the essay type answers, the examiners want more than just the facts.
Marks will be determined by how well you prove your knowledge of the facts and your understanding
of those facts in a greater context.

You know the answer to the question but your ability to communicate that knowledge to the
examiner depends on how well you structure your answer.
Take the time to make a rough outline of what you want to write and in what order you want to
present it.
Always begin with an introduction and end with a conclusion with out actually writing them in the
answer.
Stream of consciousness writing (putting things on paper as you think of them) will result in a
mediocre marks at best. That is, your answer must be Organised, Planned, Tight, Appropriate And
Thought-out.
Presentation:
Aspirants who do not use the accepted rules of English are often thought to be less competent or
knowledgeable than those who do.
If you have all the elements of a well-written answer but your use of language, sentence structure,
spelling or handwriting make it dicult to read or understand what you are trying to say, your marks

will suer.
Make sure you use good sentence structure, grammar, spelling and legible handwriting. These
elements will make a good answer and will fetch you better marks as well.
The ability to write good answers involves understanding the process and the conventions of essay
type answer writing.
