After the changes made by the Uttar Pradesh Public service commission in UPPCS exam the exam now closely resembles the UPSC Civil services exam.The UPPCS Preliminary exam 2020 will be one of the most competitively fought exams in the near future.A combination of the right strategy along with hard work is needed to crack the UPPCS Preliminary examination 2020.First let us take a look and understand in detail the pattern and the syllabus for the UPPCS Preliminary examinations 2020.

The UPPCS Preliminary Examination, 2020 will consist of two compulsory papers.

  • The answers to both the papers will be on OMR sheets.
  • The papers shall be 200 marks each and of two hours duration.
  • Both the papers shall be objective Type & multiple choice in which there shall be 150-100 questions respectively.

Note : (1) Paper-II of the UPPCS Preliminary examination will be a qualifying paper with minimum qualifying marks fixed at 33%. One has to score a minimum of 33% marks in this paper or one will not qualify for the mains.

(2) It is mandatory for the Candidates to appear in both the papers of UPPCS Preliminary Examination for the purpose of evaluation. Therefore a candidate will be disqualified in case he does not appear in both papers.

(3) The merit of the Candidates will be determined on the basis of marks obtained in Paper-I of the UPPCS Preliminary Examination. Paper 2 is only of qualifying nature and is not taken into consideration while determining the merit of the candidates.

Most students do not prepare well and enough for Paper 2 which is highly risky. The students need to understand well that if they do not score 33% marks in Paper 2 it will be back to the starting line.

After having gone through the detailed syllabus for UPPCS Preliminary examination 2020 every student should prepare strictly according to the syllabus. While one plans out his daily study routine for UPPCS Preliminary examination 2020 he should set aside some time for revision also. Weekly and quarterly revisions are a must. Once the whole syllabus is over it is time to test oneself how prepared is he to appear for UPPCS Preliminary examination 2020. Maximum mock tests should be taken and weak areas should be worked upon. Many students do not practice mock tests of Paper 2 in sufficient numbers. This could prove to be detrimental to one’s performance. Many students just keep studying the syllabus but do not appear for tests. This is the wrong approach. If one is confident of having studied the syllabus well then one should not fear facing the mock tests.

A good test series is a must along with relevant and precise study material. In recent years the pattern of the exam for UPPCS Preliminary examination has undergone a huge change so it is also important for the student to understand and accept the changes. Generally it is seen that students who have been preparing for the exam for four to five years find it difficult to accept any new changes in the pattern. So what is obsolete needs to be removed and its place needs to be taken by what is introduced? A student who is focussed, willing to work hard, and studies quality content is sure to crack the exam. All the best for the UPPCS Preliminary examination 2020.
