Nearly 17,000 candidates have qualified the Civil Services
(preliminary) Examination, 2014, conducted by the Union Public Service
Commission, the results of which were declared on Tuesday morning.
With over 4,50,000 candidates appearing for the examination on August
24, the results were declared in a record 50-day time period.
The successful candidates will now have to appear in the mains
examination, which will be conducted from December 14 to December 20.
According to an UPSC official, there was an increase of 40 per cent in
the number of students appearing in this year's examination compared
to last year's 3,24,279 . The official said that in previous years,
results were declared within an average of 68 days from the day of the
examination. "Successful candidates will get more time this year to
study because of early declaration of results," said the official.
This year was tumultuous for the UPSC with a controversy that erupted
over the pattern of the Civil Services Examination in July demanding a
change in the Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) or paper II.
Students had taken to the streets claiming the examination put
aspirants from rural areas or with Hindi background at a disadvantage.
The Union government had decided then that marks of the English
section questions, asked in paper-II, would not be included for
gradation or merit in the exam.
, The UPSC has advised candidates not to file RTI applications seeking
details of their marks which will be provided to them only after the
entire selection process for the Civil Services Examination is over.
"Candidates are also informed that marks, cut-off marks, and answer
keys of the Civil Services (preliminary) Examination, 2014, will be
provided only after the entire process of the Civil Services
Examination, 2014, is over i.e. after the declaration of the final
result. Therefore, no application under the RTI Act, 2005, or
otherwise will be entertained ," the UPSC said in a statement.
The list of successful candidates, who have qualified for admission to
the Indian Forest Service (main) examination, 2014, was also declared.
"As many as 1,106 candidates have been declared successful to appear
for the Indian Forest Services (main) examination which will be held
on November 22. They were also selected through the Civil Services
(preliminary) Examination," said an official.
The successful candidates have been asked to fill in the Detailed
Application Form (DAF) for the Civil Services Main (CSM) examination
scheduled to be held from December 14 this year. The DAF (CSM) will be
available on the UPSC website from October 28 till November 11, 2014.
