DELHI: The Government of India (GOI) asked the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) to postpone the preliminary civil services examination that is to be held on 24th of August 2014.

The order came in response of the civil services aspirants who are on fast and soughing scrapping of the Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT). A group of students staged a protest on Sunday outside the residence of Rajnath Singh, the current Union Home Minister of GOI.

According to media reports, the protest is against the newly-introduced CSAT, which as per protestor believe that it had degraded the value of India's one of the toughest exam. The protestors claim that instead of providing level playing field the CSAT has created a condition of partiality for the candidates of Hindi background and other regional language.

Gaurav   The problem is not CSAT- By Gaurav

at ther core of the problem lies the fact that UPSC has also reorieneted its questions towards being more contemporary and analytical. To gain such insights, one has to refer to many sources, most of which are found only in newspapers like The Hindu or from a plethora of websites - all of whcich are in English

Any current topic also is covered in english first; add to that availability of foreign writers' books for theory part of optional subject

In these conditions, even if they remove the CSAT paper 2, i doubt it will benefit vernacul;ar students; also the tendency to mug up is very high in Hindi medium students, but this simply is not working since 2008 as UPSC is now not asking factual questions
Karan jaiswal   It's fair- By Karan jaiswal

UPSC always keeps in mind that for Civil Services candidates appear from core areas from India. CSAT being an advantage for MBAians, IITians, Engineering students and many more who are good in english and have already prepared for such aptitude exams
found easy to score, as core area candidates are not much familiar with English so they find it diffcult to clear the paper. So, it is good step forward and candidates those who are preparing for exams will get more time to study and revise the topics.
abhishek   its unfair ....- By abhishek

i don't understand why regional language people are so worried about CSAT.....English in CSAT is minimum required for being a civil servent.its just of 10th STD.why they are making mess.although its marks is not added in rank ..and aptitude shows your capability and credentials for analytic thoughts....they are just hampering exam ..instead of preparing they they are doing fast and striks....whats wrong with them yar ....:(
jai   its unfair- By jai

if removed it will be highly unfair for engg. background students, as it will bring in advantage to arts side student who studies subject papers for more than 5 yrs from 11th std. and still engg. students who came new to all these score high as they are intellectual, having good grasping power and aptitude, required for nation to support clan beaurocracy.
Prachi   Removal of CSAT shall be unfair- By Prachi

Removal of CSAT shall be unfair for garduates from enginnering, medical and management backgrounds. The Humanities people study the UPSC core subjects for their entire graduation period and thereafter as well during preparations, while the rest of the lot hardly studies them after Class X. CSAT was a good way of normalising the trade off between the factual learning by humanities people against aptitude of science graduates.
Madhavi   It\'s unfair- By Madhavi

Removing the CSAT as its not favaouring some students is not fair. A civil servent irrespective of background should atleast know basics of english which is tested by CSAT.
