• UPSC examines information in an MCQ format in the
  first level, the UPSC Prelims Exam. The whole
  point is to separate the wheat from the chaff, to
  distinguish the serious candidates from the rest
  of the pack.
• The knowledge is tested in a subjective format in
  the second stage, the UPSC Mains Exam when your
  written expression is tested. This is made more
  challenging by limiting the examinee to a certain
  number of words. One must not only have
  information, but also the ability to put that
  knowledge on paper within a set word limit and
  time constraint.
• The Personality Test, often known as the UPSC
  Interview, is the third stage in a candidate's
  evaluation. The goal here is to assess a
  candidate's personality traits. How articulate
  the applicant is, in terms of verbal expression,
  body language, honesty, the courage of
  conviction, and other qualities of course, the
  platform used to assess these qualities is
  knowledge-based. After clearing all these steps
  you become a civil servant.
