ReplyDeletei think UPSC must be considering it when deciding about the changed pattern and syllabus of the Mains exam !
ReplyDeleteI think the evaluation has to factor ethics in a weighted way. Once the IQ is established at acceptable level the next major thing to be established should be character and ethics. Questions designed to evaluate ethics and character should now be heavy weights in the overall process. Mere smartness without character and ethics is of no greater good only leading to the kind of mess our country is currently facing.
