The inclusion of aptitude pattern in the prelims will definitely give out good result... This not only tests the knowledge of the aspirant but also his/her application of knowledge and his capabilities to service.. This pattern is surely welcomed...

I dont see any welcome change accompanying CSAT.Sadly UPSC has cast out ppl from lower strata who used to look up civil services as an aim to change lives and land as a motivation to others.Do you think that now ppl frm so humble background like ppl whose parents were rickshaw pullers,farmers and those who dint get english during their education wud be able to clear this exam.No they will not bcos this wasnt an aptitude.Govt has been biased to for ppl who are born rich and can avail gud education and sadly ppl here are supporting a morally wrong cause(though it does benefit me but i am straight against it).pls ppl ask ur innervoice that is a correct decision and come out for the cause of those poor who have no one to listen...It is not the time count personal benefits rather wake up for ppl who dont even get their daily bread and butter....
