If you\u2019re a bank exam aspirant<\/strong> wanting to prepare for the UPSC CSE Examination<\/strong>, this article is for you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no doubt that UPSC Civil Services Exams<\/strong> are much tougher<\/em> and more competitive<\/em> than bank exams. However, if you have been preparing for bank exams, you can take that forward for your Civil Services Exam. In this article, we have listed down things that are common between Bank Exams and Civil Services Exams and how you can use your bank exam preparation<\/strong> to prepare for the UPSC CSE Exam.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common topics in the syllabus<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Following are topics that commonly appear in most Bank exams:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reasoning, Quantitative Aptitude, English Language, General Awareness, Data Interpretation and Current Affairs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are broadly the same topics that appear in the UPSC CSE Preliminary Examination too:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current Affairs, General Studies, Comprehension, Logical reasoning and analytical ability and Decision making and problem solving.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s not much difference Preliminary Exam syllabus of UPSC Civil Services Exam<\/strong> and Preliminary & Main exam syllabus of Bank exams<\/strong>. Except, the UPSC CSE Preliminary exam syllabus is vast compared to the Bank exam syllabus. So, you\u2019re going to have to put an extra effort during preparation. The General Studies section of UPSC CSE exam is tougher and requires much more in-depth knowledge compared to the General Knowledge\/General Awareness section of Bank exams.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a few topics in bank exam syllabus that do not appear in UPSC CSE Exams. Like Marketing<\/em> and Computer Knowledge<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Difference in Exam Pattern<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s compare the exam pattern of UPSC CSE exam<\/strong> with that of a bank exam (SBI PO)<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Particulars<\/strong><\/span><\/td>UPSC CSE<\/strong><\/span><\/td>SBI PO<\/strong><\/span><\/td><\/tr>
Subjects<\/span><\/td>General Studies (Polity, General science, science & technology, geography, economics, history, sociology, art & culture, environment & ecology)<\/span>
CSAT (Aptitude)<\/span>
Optional Subjects<\/span>
Essay Writing<\/span><\/td>		English Language<\/span>
Quantitative Aptitude<\/span>
Reasoning<\/span>
General\/Economy\/Banking Awareness<\/span>
Computer Aptitude<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
Number of papers<\/span><\/td>2 in Prelims; 9 in Mains<\/span><\/td>3 in Prelims; 4 in Mains<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
Selection process<\/span><\/td>Prelims + Mains + Interview<\/span><\/td>Prelims + Mains + Interview<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
Total Marks<\/span><\/td>2025<\/span><\/td>300<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
Marks allotted for interview<\/span><\/td>275<\/span><\/td>30<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
Mode of exam<\/span><\/td>Offline<\/span><\/td>Online<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
Negative Marking<\/span><\/td>0.33 marks<\/span><\/td>0.25 marks<\/span><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From the above exam pattern comparison, it is evident why UPSC CSE Exam preparation<\/strong> needs that extra push and effort.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

<\/div><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n
Kind of questions asked<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

The kind of questions asked in Bank exams <\/strong>and UPSC CSE exams<\/strong> are drastically different.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPSC CSE Prelims sample question (General Studies I):<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which one of the following is a purpose of ‘UDAY’, a scheme of the Government?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(a) Providing technical and financial assistance to start-up entrepreneurs in the field of renewable sources of energy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(b) Providing electricity to every household in the country by 2018<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(c) Replacing the coal-based power plants with natural gas, nuclear, solar, wind and tidal power plants over a period of time.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(d) Providing for financial turnaround and revival of power distribution companies.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bank exam sample question (GK Section):<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name the state, which has launched Nagar Uday Abhiyan Scheme, recently?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(a) Uttar Pradesh<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(b) Arunachal Pradesh<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(c) Himachal Pradesh<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(d) Andhra Pradesh<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(e) Madhya Pradesh<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPSC CSE Mains sample question (General Studies):<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Krishnadeva Raya, the King of Vijayanagar, was not only an accomplished scholar himself but was also a great patron of learning and literature. Discuss.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bank Exam sample question (GK section):<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Krishnadeva Raya was the king of which empire?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(a) Pallava
<\/span>
(b) Mughal<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(c) Vijayanagar<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(d) Chola<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While bank exam questions<\/strong> are concerned with the facts and knowledge about events<\/em>, civil services exam questions<\/strong> dive deeper into it. For instance, you are required to know the names<\/em> of various nuclear and thermal power plants of India and their locations for bank exams, whereas for civil services exam, you\u2019re required to know the objectives, targets, and other details<\/em> about the power plants. You don\u2019t need to know the details of all the power plants, only the important ones.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

<\/div><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n
Difference in preparation approach<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

While Bank exams mostly test your knowledge about facts<\/em>, UPSC CSE exams test your opinions about these facts<\/em> and your ability to encounter social situations. Keeping this in mind, we have listed down a few approaches in preparation that you need to change for UPSC CSE Exam preparation<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Syllabus<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While bank exams have a, more or less, defined syllabus, the UPSC CSE Exam syllabus<\/strong> is as vast as the ocean. It\u2019s a good idea to develop a liking towards all kinds of subjects. Start your preparation by building your basics using NCERT books from 6th<\/sup> to 12th<\/sup> grade.

Current Affairs<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having been a bank exam aspirant, you definitely have a habit of reading the newspaper for current affairs<\/strong>. Continue doing that for your UPSC CSE exam preparation<\/strong> as well. While reading a newspaper is, no doubt, crucial for CSE preparation, how you read<\/em> it is equally crucial.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Bank exams\u2019 current affairs<\/strong> requires you to have a knowledge of what\u2019s happening around you, CSE exams requires you to not only know about it, but also have an opinion about it. There is a high chance the interviewers will test you on your ability express your opinion<\/em> about a particular event and also to connect<\/em> that event to similar events that have taken place in the past (History).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
