CSAT Syllabus – GS Paper II – UPSC Prelims 2023

The CSAT (Civil Services Aptitude Test) syllabus for UPSC 2024 shall comprise the following broad categories:

• Comprehension
• Interpersonal skills including communication skills
• Logical reasoning and analytical ability
• Decision-making and problem-solving
• General mental ability
• Basic numeracy (numbers and their relations, orders of magnitude, etc.) (Class X level), Data interpretation (charts, graphs, tables, data sufficiency, etc. – Class X level)

Best books for CSAT (GS Paper II):

The books recommended by IAS toppers for acing the UPSC Prelims – CSAT (GS Paper II) are given below:

• CSAT Paper – 2 Manual by TMH
• Analytical Reasoning – M. K. Pandey
• Verbal & Non-Verbal Reasoning – R. S. Aggarwal

However, since the CSAT exam in UPSC CSE was made qualifying in 2015, candidates need to score only 33% to qualify for Mains, provided they score above the cut off in UPSC Prelims – GS Paper I. Aspirants can practice CSAT Questions while visiting the linked article.

The qualifying nature and the level X standard questions in CSAT mean that serious candidates do not need to memorise or go through multiple books.

First, all candidates should try to solve UPSC previous year question papers for CSAT and then decide on a preparation strategy.

CSAT marking scheme:

• The CSAT paper consists of 80 questions which the candidate has to finish in the allotted time of 2 hours only.
• Each question carries 2.5 marks in the CSAT paper making the total to 200 marks.
• Candidates must remember that there is negative marking in the CSAT paper.
• For every incorrect answer, the candidate is penalised 1/3rd of the total marks allotted to that question, i.e., 0.83 marks will be cut.
• If a question is not attempted, i.e., the candidate leaves it blank on the OMR sheet, no marks will be cut for that question.

CSAT strategy for IAS Prelims 2024:

• Candidates should not ignore the CSAT paper thinking it is only a qualifying paper.
• If candidates feel that their general English comprehension and basic math skills are not up to the mark, they should spend a decent amount of time on the CSAT paper.
• This holds true especially for aspirants from the humanities and arts background who have not been in touch with such subjects ever since their school days.
• For those candidates who are at ease with the type of questions asked in the CSAT paper, practising the adequate number of UPSC previous years’ question papers for CSAT will do.
• But if candidates do not practice the CSAT question papers, it would be very difficult to complete the 80 questions in the prescribed time limit of two hours.
• Remember, candidates should score at least 66 marks. If they do not qualify, even very high marks in the GS paper I will not help them clear the IAS prelims stage.
• For candidates to increase their speed in solving math questions in the CSAT paper, they can take help from certain well-used maths tricks. Refer to this article  Maths Tricks to Break the CSAT Bricks for the same.
• Questions from data interpretation, logical reasoning, etc. are generally easy but if the candidate is unfamiliar with them, answering them can be a tricky affair. This is where practice becomes essential.
• Also, some of the CSAT questions are lengthy and rather time-consuming. It becomes doubly important for candidates to practise mock test papers or enrol for a reliable CSAT test series.

CSAT Trend Analysis 2011-2020

We have categorised the questions as per the topics in the UPSC syllabus for CSAT in the table below.

CSAT in UPSC Prelims: a brief timeline

• Prior to 2011, the pattern of the UPSC Prelims was as per the Kothari Committee recommendations in 1979.
• GS – 150 marks
• Paper II – on one of 23 optional subjects – 300 marks
• In 2010-2011, the UPSC revamped the Preliminary stage of the Civil Services Exam. There are still two papers. However, both papers are now worth 200 marks.
• The GS Paper II in UPSC Prelims became a test to gauge IAS aspirants’ analytical abilities. Commonly, the GS Paper II is referred to as the CSAT ( Civil Services Aptitude Test).
• Upon its introduction, the CSAT paper was counted similar to GS Paper I in UPSC Prelims.
• However, there was widespread controversy as candidates, primarily from rural backgrounds, alleged that the CSAT paper is unfairly hampering their chance of qualifying the UPSC exam.
• Hence, in August 2014, the Central Govt announced that the marks in CSAT will not be counted and it became only a qualifying paper (33% qualifying criteria) from 2015 onwards. The 2011 candidates were also given a second chance.
• Since 2015, the pattern of CSAT in UPSC Prelims has remained the same.

• 8 hours 15 minutes
• 7 hours 50 minutes

Importance of CSAT:

• The total marks of both UPSC Prelims Paper-1 (General Studies Paper) and Paper-2 (CSAT paper) were considered for arriving at the final order of merit (IAS prelims ranking) of the candidate to qualify for the UPSC mains examination.
• However, there was a protest about including the CSAT in the ranking order by a section of the aspirant-community and the UPSC made a slight change in the pattern in response to this protest. In 2015, the CSAT was made a qualifying paper.
• Under the present UPSC scheme of examination, candidates have to score a minimum of 33% i.e. 66 marks out of the 200 allotted for the CSAT paper in order to clear the Civil Services Preliminary Examination.
• Only those candidates who manage to get a score of 66 or more in GS Paper-2 and also surpass the UPSC-prescribed cut off marks in GS Paper-1 are allowed to appear for the civil services mains examination.

What is CSAT in UPSC

Civil Services Aptitude Test, CSAT is one of the two compulsory papers of UPSC Civil Services Preliminary Examination. This is also known as GS Paper-II of UPSC Prelims exam. It was introduced in the year 2011 to test the administrative aptitude of candidates – analytical skills, logical reasoning, comprehension, general mental ability and basic numeracy.

It must be noted that CSAT is a qualifying paper, i.e., you must get the minimum qualifying marks (of 33%) to be eligible to get shortlisted for UPSC Mains Exam.

The latest CSAT paper pattern for UPSC is:

•  Number of questions: 80 MCQs
•  Marks per question: 2.5
• Maximum Marks: 200
• Negative Marking: For every incorrect answer, the candidate is penalized 1/3rd of the total marks allotted to that question, i.e., 0.83 marks will be cut.
• However, no marks will be deducted for a question if it is not attempted.
•  Time: 2 hours
•  Language of CSAT exam paper: English/Hindi

Importance of CSAT in UPSC

It must be noted that the UPSC CSAT paper is qualifying in nature, i.e., you will not be able to clear UPSC Prelims, if you do not get the minimum qualifying marks in CSAT (GS Paper 2), however high you may score in GS Paper 1.

•  UPSC has set minimum qualifying marks of 33% in CSAT, i.e., if you do not get 66+ marks in CSAT, you are out!
•  In the last few years UPSC has gradually increased the difficulty level of CSAT paper. And many students who took CSAT for granted, even after scoring high marks in GS Paper-I, failed at the UPSC Prelim exam.
• Therefore, IAS aspirants should not take CSAT for granted, take out enough time to learn and develop the skill to qualify the CSAT paper.

Is CSAT qualifying in UPSC?

Yes, CSAT is a Qualifying Paper, i.e., marks secured in the UPSC CSAT paper will not be considered towards the marks making the cut-off for the UPSC Mains exam. In other words, marks secured in this UPSC CSAT paper will not determine the selection of the candidate for UPSC Mains Exam. The cut-off for IAS Mains exam, therefore, is purely determined by the marks secured in Prelims GS Paper I. Minimum qualifying marks for CSAT are fixed at 33%. CSAT Paper is of 200 marks. That means a minimum of 66 Marks are to be secured in this Paper for eligibility for consideration in the cut-off list for the IAS Mains exam.

Is there any negative marking in CSAT Paper 2?

For each question for which a wrong answer has been given by the candidate, one‐third (0.33) of the marks assigned to that question is deducted as a penalty.

What is the syllabus for UPSC CSAT Paper?

CSAT Paper includes questions on comprehension, interpersonal skills including communication skills, logical reasoning and analytical ability, decision making and problem-solving, general mental ability, basic numeracy (numbers and their relations, orders of magnitude, etc. of class X level) and data interpretation (charts, graphs, tables, data sufficiency etc. of Class X level).

Which is the best book to study for the UPSC CSAT exams?

• • A Modern Approach to Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning by R.S. Aggrawal
• • CSAT by McGraw Hill
• • Cracking the Civil Services Aptitude Test Paper-II by Arihant

Is CSAT easy to crack?

• Solve PYQs to examine your aptitude level for the UPSC CSAT paper
• Assess your strong and weak areas
• Do not count on your strong areas to help you qualify for the CSAT paper. UPSC is known for being unpredictable and loading too many questions from the same syllabus topics. You would not want to face too many questions from your weak areas.
• So, start working on your weak areas now.
• Learn the techniques to solve questions and practice 4-5 questions daily.

What is CSAT passing marks?

33% of the total 200 marks or 66+ marks.

What is the duration of Rau's IAS CSAT course ?

Course durations can vary depending on the type of program and the specific needs of the students. In the regular batch, the duration is 2.5 months, and for the weekend batch, it is 6 months.
