will not be counted for determining their final order of merit. The number of
candidates to be admitted to the Main Examination will be about twelve to
thirteen times the total approximate number of vacancies to be filled in the
year through this examination. Only those candidates who are declared by the
Commission to have qualified in the Preliminary Examination in the year will be
eligible for admission to the Main Examination of that year provided they are
otherwise eligible for admission, to the Main Examination.
Note I : Since there may be common candidates for Civil Services Examination and
the Indian Forest Service Examination, after the common Screening Test done
through Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination, separate lists will be
prepared for the candidates eligible to appear in the Civil Service (Main)
Examination and Indian Forest Service (Main) Examination, based on the criterion
of minimum qualifying marks of 33% in General Studies Paper-II of Civil
Services (Preliminary) Examination and total qualifying marks of General
Studies Paper-I of Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination as determined by
the Commission on the number of vacancies to be filled through the Civil
Services Examination and Indian Forest Service Examination.
Note II : There will be negative marking for incorrect answers as detailed below
:-
(i)
There are four alternatives for the answers to every question. For each
question for which a wrong answer has been given by the candidate, one-third of
the marks assigned to that question will be deducted as penalty.
(ii)
If a candidate gives more than one answer, it will be treated as a wrong answer
even if one of the given answers happen to be correct and there will be same
penalty as above for that question.
(iii)
If a question is left blank i.e. no answer is given by the candidate, there
will be no penalty for that question."
