StrategyforPreparationforPreliminaryExam
NowwewilldiscusshowtoprepareforboththepapersofPreliminaryExamination.
Ontheanalysisof the sample questions,givenbyUPSC,basedon the revised
patternofCivilServicesPreliminaryExaminationeffectivefrom2011,wefindthat
Paper I of Preliminary Exam is the same which was known earlier as General
Studiespaper.ToprepareforPaperI,thecandidateshouldseethelasttenyears

IndiaandtheWorld-GeographyquestionsusuallyfocusonIndiangeography,
withregardtophysical,socialandeconomicaspects.
4. IndianPolityandGovernanceConstitution,PoliticalSystem,Panchayati
Raj,Public Policy, RightsIssuesetc.In thesetopics,ananalysisofthe

relatedtotheIndianConstitutionandtheexistingpoliticalsystem.
5. EconomicandSocialDevelopmentSustainableDevelopment,Poverty,
Inclusion,Demographics,SocialSectorInitiatives,etc.Recentdevelop-
mentsinthefieldofeconomicprioritiesarealsoafavouriteareaforquestioning.
Thecandidateshouldbemorefocusedonvariouspolicyprogrammesinitiatedby

whetherthismyopiaispathologicalornot.Incaseitisnotpathological,thecandidateshall
be declared fit, provided he fulfils the visual requirements otherwise.
(ii)In everycase of myopia,fundus examinationshould be carriedout andthe results
recorded. In the event of pathological condition being present which is likely to be
progressive and affect the efficiency of the candidate, he/she should be declared unfit.
(e) Field of vision: The field of vision shall be tested in respect of all services by the
confrontation method. When such test gives unsatisfactory or doubtful result the field of
vision should be determined on the perimeter.
(f) Night Blindness: Broadly there are two types of night blindness (1) as a result of
VitaminAdeficiencyand(2)asaresultofOrganicdiseaseofRetina-commoncausebeing
Retinitis Pigmentosa. In (1) the fundus is normal, generally seen in younger age group
and ill nourished persons and improves by large doses of VitaminA. In (2) the fundus is
often involved and mere fundus examination will reveal the condition in majority of cases.
The patient in this category is an adult and may not suffer from malnutrition persons
seeking employment for higher posts in the Government will fall in this category. For both
(1) and (2) dark adaptation test will reveal the condition. For (2) specially when fundus is
notinvolvedelectro-Retinographyisrequiredtobe done.Boththesetests(darkadaptation
andretinography)are time-consumingandrequireasa routinetestina medicalcheckup.
Because of these specialized set up, and equipment and thus are not possible as a
technical considerations, it is for the Ministry/Department to indicate if these tests for night
blindness are required to be done. This will depend upon the job requirement and nature
of duties to be performed by the prospective Government employees.
ForRailwayServices(IRTS,IRAS,IRPSandRPF)-Nightblindnessneednotbetested
asaroutinebutonlyinspecialcases.Nostandardtestforthetestingofnightblindnessor
darkadaptionisprescribed.TheMedicalBoardshouldbegiventhediscretiontoimprovise
suchroughteste.g.,recordingofvisualacuitywithreducedilluminationorbymakingorby
making the candidate recognize various objects in a darkened room after he has been
therefor20to30minutes.Candidatesown statementsshouldnotalwaysbereliedupon
but they should be given due consideration.
(g)ColourVision:ThetestingofcolorvisionshallbeessentialinrespectoftheTechnical
Services mentioned above. As regards the non-Technical Services/posts the Ministry/
Department concerned will have to inform the medical board that the candidate is for a
service requiring colour vision examination or not.
Colour perception should be graded into higher and lower depending upon
the size of aperture in the lantern as described in the table below:-

Grade HigherGrade LowerGrade

1. Distance 16ft 16ft

2. Sizeof
aperture 1.3mm. 13mm.
3. Timeof
exposure 5seconds 5seconds
For the IPS and other Police Services, Group A and B Indian RailwayTraffic Service
GroupA posts in the Railway Protection force and for other Services concerned with the
safety of the public higher grade of colour vision is essential but for others lower, grade of
colour vision should be considered sufficient.
Satisfactory colour vision constitutes, recognition with ease and without hesitation of
signalred,greenand yellowcolours.TheuseofIshiharasplates,shown ingoodlightand
a suitable Edrige Greens lantern shall be considered quite dependable for testing colour
vision. While either of the two tests may ordinarily be considered sufficient in respect of
services concerned with road, rail and air traffic, it is essential to carry out the lantern test.
Indoubtfulcaseswhereacandidatefailstoqualifywhentestedbyonlyoneofthetwotests,
boththetestsshouldbeemployed.HoweverboththeIshiharasplatesandEdrigeGreens
lantern shall be used for testing colour vision of candidates for appointment to the Indian
Railway Traffic Service and Group A posts in the Railway protection Force.
(h) Ocular condition other than visual acuity-
(i)Any organic disease or a progressive refractive error, which is likely to
result in lowering visual acuity, should be considered a disqualification.
(ii) squint: For technical services where the presence of binocular vision is
essential squint, even if the vision acuity in each eye is of prescribed
standard should be considered a disqualification. For other services the
presence of squint should not be considered as a disqualification if the
visualacuityisoftheprescribed standards.ForRailwaystechnicalservices
binocular vision is essential.
(iii) if a person has one eye or if he has one eye which has normal vision
and the other eye is amblyopic or has subnormal vision the usual effect is
25
thatthepersonislackingstereoscopicvisionforperceptionofdepth.Such
vision is not necessary for many civil posts. The medical board may
recommend as fit such persons provided the normal eye has-
(i) 6/6distantvisionj/Inearvision withorwithoutglassesprovided
the errorin anymeridian isnot more than4 dioptresfor distant
vision.
(ii) Has full field of vision.
(iii) Normal colour vision wherever required:
Provided the Board is satisfied that the candidate can perform all the
functions for the particular job in question.
The above relaxed standard of visual acuity will NOT apply to candidates
for post/services classified as TECHNICAL The Ministry/Department concerned
will have to informthe medical board that the candidate isfor a TECHNICAL post
ornot.
(iv) Contact Lenses: During the medical examination of
Candidate, the use of contact lenses is not to be allowed. It is
necessarythatwhenconductingeyetesttheilluminationofthetyped
letters for distant vision should have an illumination of 15 foot-
candles.
GUIDELINESFORSPECIALOPHTHALMICBOARD
Special ophthalmic Board for eye examination shall consist of 3 ophthalmologists:
(a) Cases where the Medical Board has recorded visual function within normal
prescribed limits but suspects a disease of progressive and organic nature, which
is likely to cause damage to the visual function should refer the candidate to a
special ophthalmic Board for opinion as part of the first Medical Board.
(b) All cases of any type of surgery on eyes. IOL, refractive corneal surgery, doubtful
cases of colour defect should be referred to special ophthalmic Board.
(c) In such cases where a candidate is found to be having high myopia or high
hypermetropia the Central Standing Medical Board/State Medical Board should
immediately refer the candidates for a special Board of three ophthalmologists
constituted by the Medical Superintendent of the hospital/A.M.O. with the head of
theDepartmentofophthalmologyofthehospitalortheseniormostophthalmologist
as the Chairman of the special Board . The ophthalmologist/Medical Officer who
