Dear members, since 1989, I have been guiding students appearing for
different competitive examinations. The changes, which the Union Public
Commission has introduced since yesterday are applicable only to the Mains
Examinations and not to the Prelims, because the pattern for the Prelims
was changed just two years back. Previously the pattern of Prelims was
different. A paper of General Studies comprising 150 marks was compulsory
for every student and a student had one paper of an optional subject
comprising 300 marks, which he could choose. But since last two years, the
optional subject for Prelims has been removed and a student has to appear
for two compulsory papers each comprising of 200 marks. The first paper is
of General Studies and the second is of mental ability and reasoning. Now,
so far as the new pattern of the Mains is concerned, in stead of two
optional subjects comprising 600 marks each, the students have to choose any
one optional subject. Further, the compulsory paper of regional language, in
which only qualifying marks were required has been done away with.
