2. Main Examination (Tier II) – Generalists
Candidates who qualify for the Preliminary Examination will proceed to the Main Examination. For Generalists, the objective test will carry 250 marks and will have a total duration of 150 minutes.

After the objective test, Generalist candidates will take a 30-mark Descriptive Test lasting 30 minutes. It will assess English writing through Letter Writing (10 marks) and Essay (20 marks).
3. Main Examination (Tier II) – Hindi Officers
Hindi Officer candidates will take a separate Main Examination. The objective test will carry 200 marks and will last 120 minutes.

| General Awareness | 25 | 25 | 10 minutes |

Hindi Officers will then take a 50-mark Descriptive Test for 60 minutes. The paper will include an English Essay, Hindi Essay, Hindi Letter Writing, English-to-Hindi Translation and Hindi-to-English Translation.
4. Interview
Finally, UIIC will shortlist candidates for the Interview based on their Main Examination performance and the applicable cut-offs. For Generalists, the Main Objective Examination and Interview will carry 75% and 25% weightage, respectively. For Hindi Officers, the Main Examination, including the Objective and Descriptive Tests, and Interview will carry 75% and 25% weightage, respectively.
