2. New Schedule for Civil Services Exam from 2014

2014 schedule, it is worth noting how the

strategy and what changes are needed.
Instead of February, the civil services exam
2014 will be notified in May and the IAS
Prelims will be held on 24th August 2014.

3. Why is the Prelims delayed in 2014?
 One possible explanation flying around is that UPSC
wants to discourage rote-masters but this does not
seem convincing. After all, how will they be deterred
even if the gap between the Prelims and Mains is
reduced by three months?

4. => A more plausible explanation seems that since the
Prelims and Mains syllabus have been made quite
similar, UPSC wants candidates to approach the
examination as a whole and prepare accordingly.
=> Right now candidates focus on the Prelims
separately from the Mains and begin Mains
preparation only after the Prelims since there is, at
present, six months gap between the two.

5. Prepare for Prelims and Mains simultaneously
from 2014
The best way to now approach the IAS exam is to prepare
Prelims and Mains together. Also you will need to change
the time-frame. In stead of the present June-May approach
you will need to begin Prelims preparation in August or
September.

6. Should you worry about the changed
schedule?
=> No. Since optional subjects have been eliminated from Prelims
and also now that you have to prepare only one optional subject as
opposed to two till last year, your main focus will be general studies
preparation.
=> And the best part is that the Mains GS syllabus is an expansion or
elaboration of the Prelims syllabus.Once you start preparing from the
Mains perspective the prelims syllabus should get covered
automatically.

7. And UPSC is actually helping you to prepare better by adjusting the
examination schedule accordingly. If they had carried on with the
present schedule candidates would still approach the Mains as
they always do – after the Prelims resulting in low scores and low
cut-offs in Mains.
