Dear UPSC, CSAT (Paper 2) of Prelims 2023 is way too lengthy, difficult, and so unconventional. There should be a humane limit to difficulty. Such paper will discourage the new aspirant coming for UPSC preparation.

Is UPSC non-inclusive?

The increasing difficulty level of CSAT paper does not bode well for students from non-technical backgrounds.

Already the share of non-engineering students in UPSC is reaching all time low (just 1/3rd in 2022) and in such scenario, making CSAT tougher, will be beneficial majorly to students from engineering backgrounds.

The diversity in the services will be lost. And equality.
