👴🏻 UPSC Chairman’s new proposal: only 2 prelims attempts for general category, but valid for 4 mains exams.
- He this in an interview to Indian Express today
- According to the Chairman, this model would not only lessen the pressure but also allow candidates to focus more deeply on Mains preparation
## Mrunal Notes:
- Since my college days (2003-07), I’ve seen many UPSC Chairmans and committees propose reducing attempts and age limits, but they’ve never done it.
- Bcoz, the ruling party has to win elections, and UPSC jobs have a social justice aspect, as many SC/ST/poor households see them as their only escape from persecution.
- Rahul Gandhi’s campaigns on reservation and samvidhaan khatre mein hai have put the government on the backfoot regarding lateral entry. So Modi-ji unlikely to tinker with age-attempt any time soon.
- Please don’t waste your time with clickbait videos about age attempt limit will change. जैसे चल रहा है उस हिसाब से तैयार पे ध्यान देते रहिए।
