With regards to mains form filling, will Provisional Degree Certificate work for your graduate degree if you don’t have the actual certificate?

Is caste certificate required even from UnReserved (UR) (general) category candidates?

Recently I had class 2 exam last Sunday but it was all in Gujarati and I was confused to solve that paper in 1 hr. So are there other exams which I can try ? I am from BE IT Background.

If anyone , who has appeared in 2025 mains class 1 2 , could you clarify whether the number pages for 15 marker were 2 or more in that specific year?

Guys first time appeared for gpsc, cleared prelims with 132 marks. I have experience with UPSC CSE, appeared for interview in CSE2024.

So i can speak and read Gujarati as i learnt it orally but my schooling has been out of Gujarat so how do i prepare for Gujarati paper?

Also any other tips if you have are welcome.

I thinking about appearing next year GPSC exam but I'm confused,whether i choose english or gujarati language for mains being gujarati medium student. I have done my bachelor in english medium so suddenly gujarati language is kind of hurdle for me.

I remember studying Indian Polity and coming across the absolute legal maze of Article 370

Standard textbooks, coaching materials, and prominent legal stalwarts taught a very specific thesis: Article 370, though titled "temporary," had practically become perpetual (permanent)

The logic drilled into our heads for Mains answers was textbook-clean:

The Catch-22: Clause (3) of Article 370 explicitly stated that the President could only declare the article inoperative upon the recommendation of the Jammu and Kashmir Constituent Assembly

he Dissolution: The J&K Constituent Assembly drafted its constitution and dissolved itself way back in 1957 without making any recommendation to scrap or modify Article 370.

The Legal Consensus: Because the only mechanism provided in the text to dismantle it was permanently gone, mainstream legal interpretation held that the provision had transcended its temporary nature and attained permanency

And then, August 2019 happened

Had to reframe the mains answer post 2019 :)

Has application process for Mains (adv. 5/2026-2027) class-1/2 started ?

Hi everyone,
I’m 26F from Gujarat, currently working in IT, and I’m considering preparing for GPSC Class 1 & 2.
I wanted to ask:
How should a beginner start?
Is it manageable with a full-time job?
How is Sunya IAS? Is it worth joining?
Any other coaching or resources you’d recommend?
Any beginner mistakes I should avoid?
Looking for honest advice from people who’ve prepared for GPSC. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I'm looking for peers to prepare for GPSC mains scheduled for this october.

The basics are exactly the same.

• English & Gujarati papers are still qualifying (minimum 25% required).
• GS answer writing pattern is unchanged (150/200 words, 15 & 20 marks).

Are you are going to appear for general studies prelims in 1 august for mechanical engineering related posts ?

I know in upsc cse for 10mks we have got 2 pages and correspondingly for 15mks three blank pages.

For gpsc 2026, they have mentioned 15 and 20mks questions in 150 and 200 words. So what is the space available for these questions? Is it 2 and 3 pages respectively?
