IFS 2012 exam changes

Hi friends,

Another important update from my side on this years IFS exam paper.

UPSC has indicated in its notification that there will be screening of candidates based on their performance in GS papers and those who obtain the minimum cut off,only their optional papers would be eligible for marking.

Thats another change that one needs to keep in mind ,now GS paper becomes even more important.

In UPSC words:

1. ”Answer scripts of only those candidates who have obtained the
   minimum marks as decided by commission for paper II (General
   Knowledge) will be evaluated.”

   bye for now.will b discussing on the preparation strategies in future posts.please comment and ask if u hav any doubts.
   
   

CHANGES IN IFS2012 exam

Hi friends,

While going through the notification details minutely ,i found couple of hidden changes that has been incorporated for IFS2012 exam.

They are as follows:

1.The age restriction has been shifted to 1st august instead of 1st july which was followed uptil last year's exam.

SO people whose dob was in month of august would be loosing out one of their attempts.

Why UPSC has done this is not known and i would request my blog readers to post if they have any info on that.

2.A marked difference is seen in the restriction on the subject combination in IFS 2012 notification which is available at http://www.upsc.gov.in/exams/notifications/2012/ifs/eng.pdf

Agriculture and forestry as optional subject combination can no longer be opted for as mentioned in the notification.For my readers info,this combination used to be one of the most popular combination among the IFS exam aspirants.

Will comeback to post some more relevant news when i have time.

all the best for all the aspirants for IFS2012 exam
