Answer laterCan I write Uttar pardesh civil service mains exam in hindi medium and optional subject exam in Engish medium?
Hello,
Yes. You may write your optional paper in English while completing the remaining papers in Marathi or Hindi, two additional acceptable languages.
A candidate may choose to respond to each question paper in either English or one of the languages listed in the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution of India, with the exception of the Qualifying Language Papers, Papers A and B. Despite this, candidates who choose to write Papers I through V in any of the languages listed in the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution of India may also choose to write the Optional Papers in English. This does not apply to Papers A and B, which are the Qualifying Language Papers.
Thank You
if they objected on my uploaded photos then what it will they reject me or i should prepare for exam ?
Dear aspirant,
As you mentioned your query let me tell you that on a general basis not a single conducting body rejects just on the basis of photograph.
They will intimate you by mail or sms to upload the new photograph with corrects dimensions and size and check it accordingly.
I am from Delhi and I belong to SC category. Will I be considered as an SC or General in UPPSC?
Hello Candidate,
You need to do is check if the Community that you belong to in UP SC Category also falls under SC Category in Delhi. Because some times SC Communities list differs from State to State. If your Category from Delhi also falls under UP SC Community list, then showing that, you might have to get a SC Certificate so that you can avail SC Reservation in UP as well. Now, you studying in Delhi makes you eligible for claiming Delhi domicile but because the Category certificate is that of Delhi's there might be an issue. Not all the Communities listed in the UP SC Caste list are also listed under Delhi SC Caste list. And then there is a separate Central SC list too. So to avoid any confusions and last minute hurdles, it is for your own good to get a SC Caste Certificate from the UP as well.
Regards
Shagufa Zareen
