As per todays HT reports, there is a campaign from the candidates side for more attempts and age relaxation for the UPSC Civil Services exam. It says that a section of aspirants are re-emphasising the need for more attempts and age relaxation for the exam.
Last month, aspirants who started the #fightupsc campaign submitted a joint memorandum to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT). More than 100 members of Parliament have supported their demand for three fresh attempts for all civil services exam aspirants who have appeared from 2011 to 2015.
Civil services aspirants say they have lost five years and five attempts (2011 to 2015) because of a “discriminatory CSAT paper”. Note: The government has now virtually eliminated the CSAT paper by making it qualifying in nature, say aspirants.
Sunil Kumar Singh, who has attempted the CSAT from 2011 to 2015 and has been in the forefront of the #fightupsc campaign, says, “Why do candidates need to be moulded? If you select the right people who have the right skill sets and mindset and are honest, do you need to mould them or transform them? That means there is no co-relation between who gets selected and what is expected from selected candidates.”
