  • @MisfitMedico around 5.15 , n my friend called at 5.30 .. He was absolutely sure about the optional ..
    u can also call him to check , really nice person to talk with i must say .
  • Guys.. For the sake of argument, lets say optional is removed and two new GS papers are added.
    What could be the topics?
    Keep in mind the UPSC words - GS papers do not require any specialized study and any one should be able to answer it with current affairs knowledge and static portions fro school syllabus.

    I can think of Economy getting one full paper, S&T, Environment & Computers - One full paper, GS 6 - Public administration in India?
  • @Rodxy
    If optional has to stay, then how can changes take place in mains???
    Is it something like syllabus reduction\increase???
  • @amoeba there must be .. thats what farid sir told me .. u can call him tomorrow
  • frnds... optional will stay for sure....100% confirm...earlier optional removal for proposed and d.p was pushing hard for its removal...but it was not supported by other members and opposition to optional removal was lead by alka sirohi who is expected to take over as next upsc chairman....dis news is very authentic....optional will stay and syllabus of gs is going to be changed slightly...sm new topics are being added but no new paper is added.....plus thr is no change in pattern of prelims i.e thr will be two separate pprs as earlier the only change is dat comprehensions whtge is decreased and its made qualifying... so i suggest to continue with d optionals...notifctn will b delayed by atleast 14 days as committee want to have a say of new govmnt even before swearing in ceremony...

    If there is only superficial changes why would upsc bother about opinion of new govt?

    Asking because ,by Ur versioin, it seems there is only a syllabus change. Now in 2008 there was syllabus change in optionals. Govt had no role in it. Syllabus, marks, questions per paper are usually decided by upsc. Govt only lays down broad scheme of exam. If there is a change in scheme only then file would go to govt

  • There will be major changes .. I m cent percent sure .
  • syllabus me kya changes honge ..pehle vala syllabus na to easy hai aur na short hai..2-3 topic add krne ke lie notification me delay ?
    someone please give me number of farid sir.(who is he).i will call him in mrng ..
