👴🏻 LBSNAA Ex-director's new proposal: only 2 prelims attempts for general category, but valid for 4 mains exams

- He said in an interview to Indian Express today with justification ke 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।

let's see if UPSC chairman saab takes my question in his's live stream

https://www.youtube.com/live/kloc_70pIZk?si=jMI5WrrH55fNYx8Z

i've asked him total 10 q thru this live stream and thru twitter

1. Why doesn't UPSC hire better lawyer to ensure that fraud-document submitter ex-IAS Pooja Khedkar goes to jail instead of roaming free for over a year?
2. Why doesn't UPSC remove the Optional subjects to save the time, cost and money of the candidates- given the fact that in IAS Mains, Computer Engg, Pharma, physio, Dental, Ayurveda etc. Optional subjects are not offered so those graduates forced to pay up coaching money for political science, sociology, et cetera.
3. When does UPSC plan to stop doing injustice to law optional students in the scaling formula for IAS mains?
4. Why does UPSC behave like a dejected ex-boyfriend against Hindi medium aspirants to punish them for those anti-CSAT protests by setting up extremely tough papers for IAS Prelims CSAT Paper-2 which are difficult to solve even for CAT-Coaching walle candidates? So non-English medium poor student from SC/ST/women/weaker section doesn’t really have much chance in securing the bare minimum 33% passing marks? Again, this is increasing the dependence on Coaching.
5. why doesn't UPSC share the evaluated copies of the main papers to the candidates just like GPSC doing?
6. why doesn't UPSC share the answer keys and cut-offs immediately after the IAS Prelims examination is over, rather than dragging it for more than a year?
7. whenever UPSC losses RTI case in CIC court, why does it immediately go to higher courts? Why can't you simply accept the verdict of CIC regd. Answerkey, cutoffs etc.
8. In CSE-2023, 3 out of 5 top-IAS rankers are IPS trainees, namely Aditya Srivastava (AIR 1), P K Sidharth Ramkumar (AIR 4), and Ruhani (AIR 5). So why doesn't UPSC require them to resign first before giving the exam again? Same topper keep getting selected again and again in every season, while other candidates are remaining jobless. Please don't give excuse of how you operate the reserve list!
9. Why doesn't UPSC prescribe a specific book list for every stage of Exam to reduce the dependence of Coaching?
10. Why doesn't UPSC remove the GS paper 4 (Ethics) from IAS Mains exam looking at the number of corrupt young IAS that have been selected lately. It does not improve ethical behaviour. It only increase the dependence on coaching.

they've sanitized questions from PR team.
and chairman saab has PR-team ready answer for everything.

his reply to all the CSAT argument is CSAT is qualifying, not counted in merit. So there is no ‘injustice’ to anyone.

We give prelim answerkey before next exam so there is ‘nothing wrong’ even if we give it after 1 year delay. then he diverted discussion to how they allow 7-day error submission window.

supreme court mein case chl rha hai. so we can't release answerkey.

this lady has no idea of UPSC. so she is asking from screen. she is not asking counters. so whatever गोली चेयरमेन सब पिलाते है वो सुन के दूसरा प्रश्न पूछती है।

now they're pretending to take 'direct qs' but same repeat q on 'answerkey delay' so chairman saab will give same PR-goli of Supreme court case

and We give prelim answerkey before next exam so there is ‘nothing wrong’ even if we give it after 1 year delay.

- age-attempt - no plans to change. We’ve reached the present rule with balanced long term view. So don’t listen to rumors.

- there is no injustice to rural candidate vs urban candidate (in CSAT) - 80-90% candidates from tier-2-3 and so many motivational stories are coming from the poor Toppers who studied under street-light so there is no injustice to anyone.- said UPSC Chairman.
