Can candidates choose English as their medium for the Mains Examination?

Yes, candidates appearing for the Mains Examination can choose English as their
medium for writing the papers. In addition to English, candidates can also opt for any one
of the 22 listed Indian languages as their medium. This provision allows candidates from
diverse linguistic backgrounds to appear for the examination in a language they are most
comfortable with. It is important to note that candidates must indicate their medium of
writing in the application form itself, and once the form is submitted, they cannot change
their medium for the Mains Examination. Choosing the appropriate medium is crucial, as
it directly impacts the candidate’s ability to express themselves effectively in the
examination.
