Unpredictable Uncertain Unnecessary UPSC Challenges

Exam conducted yearly once, atleast a 50,000 serious aspirants, and thousands of institutes around the country surviving as leeches on the students, every year coming up with one or the other surprise element. To check the intellect and knowledge of the students, check it with rightful parameters. Bringing in unnecessary surprises, increasing the burden of students, every year orientation of the syllabus keeps changing, making aptitude papers extremely tough, who is being benefitted by all this? End of the day if you need to select a thousand students do it carefully, not by throw a stone find your luck patterns. It might look like not favouring anyone, it is also not favouring the knowledgeable, hardworking, and serious aspirants. If you want to recruit confident individuals, let them as well be able, well read, well revised, well practised. Bringing in surprise elements leaves the individuals with no amount of confidence for their future, also not finding their spines to know what went wrong. If Commission is at wrong, who should be questioned? Who should be answerable? Who should be responsible? Will they conduct a re-exam? This year the paper was extremely lengthy, irrelevant questions, worse than a dice game. Let the surprise element of your likes be limited to 5%, not 25% to 40%. Don’t make it horrible for the young minds of the country who wished to devote their life for this country. Every day covering current affairs, the aspirants would have never dreamt that their problem shall not even be part of the current affairs because from their part they would have prepared well but they wouldn’t have thought the Commission would come up with unrealistic and unnecessary challenges. The Commission is responsible. Why are questions being cancelled? This year out of 100 questions only 99 questions are considered for giving marks. Setting a question paper of 100 questions is that much a tough task or what? Pooling in the entire nation’s intellectual resources, what failed the Commission to come forward with the competent question paper, rather than a challenging one? The youth want to use their energies for betterment, development and good causes, not unnecessary challenges in the exam halls after all. This time the aspirants are no longer aspiring for anything other than fairness in examination. The life of the aspirants has become as targeted as the innocent by the stone in a monkey’s hand.
