Conducted by the Union Public Service Commission, the Civil Services Examination (CSE) is a test of a candidate's knowledge and skills at different stages. To improve their chances of success, candidates should review their Detailed Application Form (DAF), stay updated on current affairs and general knowledge, participate in mock interviews, revise their optional subject, and practice common interview questions. It is important to maintain confidence without being arrogant during the interview and personalize answers to highlight qualifications and motivations.
