Aspirants' discontent
CIVIL services aspirants across India are protesting against the Central government’s refusal to allow them to appear for the examination one more time although the government has granted aspirants from Jammu and Kashmir a five-year relaxation in the upper age limit this year too. This, however, caused a great deal of heartburning among students of other States who have pleaded with the government to provide them an additional chance to appear in the civil services preliminary examination on the grounds that they lost out owing to the confusion in CSAT in their attempts during the 2011-14 period when CSAT was conducted as a competitive paper. Even in the past, in 1979 and 1992, when the government introduced changes in the civil services exam pattern, the affected students had been given extra attempts/age relaxation,” one of them said. Baswan, a former Education Secretary, submitted his report, apparently suggesting reduction of the upper age limit for entry into the civil services to 26 years for general category students from 32 years.
