The goal of the CSAT Course is to help students prepare more effectively and efficiently to improve their CSAT (CSE Prelims Paper II) preparation. With the help of this Course, students will be better prepared to tackle the CSAT (CSE Prelims Paper II) syllabus without difficulty.
The CSAT Course is offered in a Classroom and Live-Online mode. The Course's main objective is to give the CSAT preparation a reliable framework for comprehensive knowledge and its implementation. In accordance with the specifications of the UPSC CSE syllabus, the classes are deliberately designed to impart the students with years of curated expertise, techniques, and methods and to have them practise the same during the classes and at home
Most aspirants put off studying for the CSAT exam, devoting 80% of their preparation time to General Studies. Only later do they realize how important qualifying the CSAT Paper is and that they ought to have given it more attention.
Aspirants should be aware that they just need to achieve 33% of the total marks to qualify the CSAT paper. It's crucial to understand that their performance on the General Studies Paper-I will signify nothing (even if they receive a strong score such as 120/200), if they receive anything less than 33% on the CSAT Paper. As a result, it is imperative to give the CSAT paper adequate priority.
According to our observations, the aspirants encounter the following significant challenges:
In accordance with the requirements of the UPSC Civil Services Exam, a set of questions from the Civil Services Aptitude Test is made to ascertain an aspirant's level of intelligence, and the results give a complete picture of that aspirant’s aptitude.
The CSAT Classroom Course will benefit students in a variety of ways, including by enabling conceptual clarity, prompt and efficient learning, and instilling necessary skills and strategies.
The Course will assist students in the following ways:
The UPSC Preliminary Exam consists of two compulsory Papers, each carrying 200 marks. The General Studies (GS) is the first Paper (Paper- I), while the Civil Service Aptitude Test (CSAT) is the second Paper (Paper-II). CSAT is a qualifying exam that requires a minimum mark of 33%.
The CSAT is a qualifying paper, and an aspirant's ability to advance to the Main Exam level is unaffected by their CSAT score.
At the Prelim Exam level, aspirants are required to participate in both of the General Studies Paper-I & CSAT Paper-II.
The CSAT Paper:
bears negative marks for incorrect answers. (0.83 marks, or one-third of the total marks allotted to that question, will be deducted for each incorrect answer.)
entails that no marks will be deducted if a question is skipped or not attempted.
