UPSC Mains to have combined Question-Answer book, cant get extra
space/supplementary Answersheet, cant bring question paper home
@Those who cleared Prelims-2013, UPSC Has uploaded the Detailed application
form (DAF) for the Mains 2013.
upscdaf.nic.in/daf_csm_2013/mainmenu.php
One important change / development is (as per DAF instruction Page 13, point
number 28):
In Mains 2013, instead of separate Question Paper and answer book, a
consolidated Question Paper-cum-Answerbook, having space below each
part/sub part of a question shall be provided to them for writing the answers.
Candidates shall be required to attempt answer to the part/sub-part of a
question strictly within the pre-defined space.
Any attempt outside the pre-defined space shall not be evaluated.
In other words,
1. Youve to be extra cautious before writing the answers, any scratching of
lines/paragraphs for correction, will only reduce the space.
2. You will not get any extra supplementary answersheets, if you run out of
space.
3. You cannot bring the question paper home and going by the previous trend:
UPSC doesnt immediately upload mains question papers on their website and
wont disclose them under R.T.I saying exam process is not yet over:
Meaning those whore not appearing in Mains 2013, you will have to wait for
few months before you get to see the official Mains questions, particularly
for the fabled ethics paper . But there are good people, wholl appear in
Mains-2013 and reveal the questions in online comments/forums, based on
their memory. So all is not lost (unlike CAT, where candidates are legally
prohibited from revealing official questions in forums/websites/books.)
on an unrelated note: with respect to some comments made earlier by readers: yes
