The C.S.A.T. or Civil Services Aptitude Test which is a new examination pattern, is going to be introduced from next year [i.e.] 2011 onwards. This C.S.A.T. or Civil Services Aptitude Test will replace the C.S.P.E. or Civil Services Preliminary Examination conducted by U.P.S.C. or Union Public Service Commission. The C.S.A.T. will play a major role in screening the Candidates for the Civil Services Main Examination from next year onwards. We know that Civil Services Examination is conducted by Union Public Service Commission for the selection of Officers in the various cadres in Group 'A' and Group 'B' which includes I.A.S. or Indian Administrative Service and I.P.S. or Indian Police Service.
The Government of India has given his nod for the new pattern of examination system viz., C.S.A.T. The Government of India has requested the Union Public Service Commission to prepare the curriculum for the new examination pattern under C.S.A.T.
The age old system of Civil Services Preliminary Examination or C.S.P.E. consists of selection of one optional subject from 22 subjects prescribed by U.P.S.C. and one General Studies paper to be selected by a candidate appearing for it. Whereas, after the introduction of C.S.A.T., it will be the only aptitude in place of Civil Services Preliminary Examination or C.S.P.E.
The Civil Services Examination is conducted by the Union Public Service Commission in 3 stages viz., C.S.P.E. or Civil Services Preliminary Examination which is now being replaced by C.S.A.T., C.S.M.E. or Civil Services Main Examination and Personality Test. Changes are also expected in Civil Services Main Examination and Personality Test depending on the recommendations of Expert Group set up for this purpose. Now the only change that has been made pertains to C.S.P.E. being replaced by C.S.A.T. Hope this will give the candidates appearing for C.S.E. or Civil Services Examination a fair chance to excel irrespective of their background in academics.
