Filed Under: UPSC Exams

The expert committee headed by Sri B.S. Baswan is gathering feedback from UPSC aspirants on certain issues connected with Civil Services Examination. The Baswan Committee was constituted on August 2015 to look into issues pertaining the eligibility, syllabus, scheme and pattern of UPSC Civil Services examination. Aspirants can take the survey at the link – https://iimb.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_2t54PfUg0oNAMrH.

An expert committee consisting of leading academicians, technocrats and senior bureaucrats of national repute has been constituted to revisit the entire pattern, syllabus and eligibility criteria for IAS / Civil Services examination.

The members of the committee:

ClearIAS Prelims Online Test Series
  1. Sri B.S. Baswan – Chairman.
  2. Shri B N Navalawala.
  3. Dr. Hari Pratap Gautam.
  4. D. Anil Sahasrabudhe.
  5. Prof. Peter Ronal deSouza.
  6. Prof. B Mahadevan.
  7. Shri M.P. Tangirala, Additional Secy (Examination), UPSC.

Based on the report of the Baswan Committee, further changes in the civil services exam pattern will be contemplated with the primary objective of providing a level playing field to aspirants from diverse streams of curriculum like mathematics, engineering, medicine or humanities and at the same time, also ensuring that the youngsters who took up IAS as a career possess a genuine aptitude for administrative job.

The terms of reference of the Expert Committee

Baswan Committee: UPSC exam pattern change

  1. To evaluate the effectiveness of the existing scheme of the Civil Services Examination in selecting suitable candidates for the Services participating in the Examination, keeping in view various factors such as the need for inclusiveness in the selection process, fair mix of candidates from different disciplines, the skill-sets required for a modern, effective and efficient civil service and trainability of selected candidates, after reviewing the recommendations of previous expert committees in this regard.
  2. To examine the Plan of the Examination and suggest suitable changes to both the Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination and the Civil Services (Main) Examination (including the interview process), including, inter alia, whether there is a case for prescribing different papers for selection to different participating Services, the number of papers in each stage, mix of compulsory and optional subjects, their structure (whether objective or conventional type), their duration, broad areas to be covered in each paper, medium of examination, the marking scheme, weightage of marks, and system of evaluation, so as to arrive at an Examination pattern that is holistic and does not exhibit any bias for or against candidates from any particular stream, subject area, language, or region.
  3. To examine the time-frame in which the Examination is conducted and suggest suitable changes to reduce the time taken for selection of candidates by utilizing information and communication technologies, as well as by making changes to the various procedures mandated by the Examination Rules, including the methodology for operating reserve lists / waiting lists (if any).
  4. To suggest the timeframe for implementation of the revised pattern of Examination.
  5. To suggest suitable eligibility criteria for candidates appearing at the Examination, with particular reference to minimum and maximum age limits and number of attempts; to review the eligibility criteria for candidates, who have already been selected to different services, and who desire to reappear for selection to some other Service.
  6. To suggest a mechanism for designing and periodically updating the syllabus for each of the papers in the two stages, including unitization of syllabus, proper coverage of content, and balance across subject papers, such that the syllabi are comprehensive, up-to- date, and suitable for a competitive evaluation of the merit of the candidates appearing at the Examination.
  7. To review the logistical requirements and constraints of conducting the Examination in view of the increasing number of candidates taking the Preliminary Examination and suggest improvements, given that almost half the number of candidates who apply do not appear at the Preliminary Examination.
  8. To examine any other item that the Expert Committee feels is relevant to the process of selection or which may be referred to the Expert Committee by the Commission/ Government.

Note: The Expert Committee may devise its own procedures and may take the assistance of such experts and institutions, and interact with such academic and professional _ institutions as it may consider necessary, in consultation with the Commission.

Note: The Expert Committee will submit its report within six months of its constitution.

  4. My plea to baswan committee is that why not entire pattern of exam be changed on the lines of GRE of ETS and IELTS type wherein the exam is conducted year round and the candidates pick their date of examination.In the present model the whole future of a candidate lies on that one particular fateful day if at all he misses.after all India has to go digital.why not computer based exam be brought in.this can be a solution to meet the problem of age relaxation and the number of attempts. After all Indian bureaucracy needs to be more efficient.why still linger on the old colonial British hangover?

  6. Good afternoon sir,
    Please read the whole.
    I m from Dhumdangi,a remote village of West Bengal where I do not find a newspaper that is helpful for competitive exams like the one,IAS.I had my schooling till Graduation on BENGALI version. I was appointed as Lab-Attendant (Gr.D post) at the age of 25.Now ,I have been living in a small city.I did not know anything about IAS till then. At the age of 26,I came to know about UPSC that selects officers like ADM,DM,ASP,SP etc. I went thruogh the syllabus and criteria,and I understood that it would be quite tough to crack the exam reading books on Bengali version,and truly speaking, publishers do not show any interest to publish books in Bengali version for UPSC as no requirements from us.Even some of the Toppers and well known institutions and app(s) like you suggest us to read such books that either on English or Hindi version. So I started to learn English, and it already took 2 years and I don’t know whether I have done it or not.Democracy offers everything for all. If it’s true,then there must have something wrong. If age limit is reduced to 25 or 26 or 27 ,if no. of attempts is reduced, The UPSC or THE CENTRAL GOVT. should first introduce a system through which every bachelor degree holder will come to know about UPSC or such exams.If it not done or something like that, I am sorry,but I must say that the cherished goal of the constitution makers to have a democracy where everything will be for everyone have not been fully realized. I wrote the above words thinking about such aspirants who wish to appear in the IAS but feeling stress due to the suggestions given by the Baswan Committee. We don’t want to see an administration where officers will belong either from cities like Delhi,Chennai, Kolkata,Siliguri etc or be a son/daughter of the same background.

  7. Respected Sir,

    Due to lack of awareness, inaccessibility , and for some other reasons like poor economic condition, many students in remote areas couldn’t appear the CC Examination conducted by UPSC during the eligibility age period as prescribed by UPSC. However, they get selection in Govt. service and get exposure to the Govt. Machinery. After sometime, they get access to such information, by the time it is already getting late and age is over. I think it will be very much helpful for such candidates if the committee decide to consider age limit at-least upto 40 with minimum 3 years regular service. Moreover, the experience in the field of Govt. machinery/service can add quality and can best serve the public by understanding the needs of the people.

  8. Sir, if all mains examination is taken in the form of objective type, that will be very fair because who are toppers in preliminary, get failed in mains. Reason that trend of giving numbers depends upon man to man and ultimately students say that it was my badluck that I have secured higher marks in preliminary exam but failed in mains. In my view, all competition should be in objective type question-answers as objective type papers are checked by computer and this will be a very fair practice. It is pertinent to mention that subjective paper should be a qualifying paper which is already in the shape of english language.

    If age for general category is reduced it would shatter the dreams of many aspirants it shouldn’t b done

  16. BASWAN Committee should think about increasing of upper age limit for general candidates .Being in general category we are deprived in everywhere whereas sons and daughters of eminent IAS or IPS officers, though in a leading position, are always making benefits out of this “quota system”.

  18. As everyone knows due to continue changes from 2011 to 2015 , kisi ko loss hua ya Nahi, par dur betha go Kissan ka beta to jarur effect hua Jise exams ke 15 days Pahle tak ye Nahi Pata ki pattern change Ho Gaya. Jo govt school mein sixth se English study kiya. Maths ko govt school mein us level ki study hi Nahi karvai gai. Jab govt khud apne institution mein jo Nahi study karate vo exam mein puchti hai, to ek villager ko Kya Bahar Nikalne ka system hai, Keval Kane ko INCLUSIVE GOVT Hai

    Honda ye chahiye ki na keval General ki age limit increase ki Jaye, victims ko attempts ke rup mein bharpai Bhi ho

  20. If the upper age limit will get increased then there will be a lack of mature administrators perhaps which will be very much harmful to the development of the country. On one side this government and UPSE itself are emphasising on the growth of the country by strengthening the administrative structure.

    The candidates who are preparing for this exam at the curcial stage of there career, where they are on the last point of there career. What will happen is that candidate is now fully prepared for the exam by taking huge risk to his career where he could have been something else and well settled but he is preparing for this exam and suddenly he comes to know that due to a commissions report now his career has completely spoiled because suddenly his eligibility has been ruined. Is this the country’s growth?

    Third the candidates who are from rural arear but the Born Officers but due to lack of resources, facilities and guidence they get delayed in preparing for this exam what would happen with them

    This decision is absolutely wrong and it will purely exploit the freedom that has been given to us by the constitution.

    The government, instead of decreasing the upper age limit, it should be increased.
    Only then this country will get the real heroes in the administrative picture because bureaucrats are those who are actually responsible for good governance.

    This report is absolutely non-considerable

  28. Age limit for gen. category candidates should not be less than 28 yrs. in any case and optional subjects should definitely be there so that students coming from different streams can also be benefited. Arts students already have an edge over others in GS papers. There should be a level playing field for other students.

    Reply

  29. Optional subjects should exist otherwise UPSC exams would benefit the most to arts students doing injustice to others. UPSC is not the examination for arts students it’s an exam for all. Baswan committee should maintain this exam’s sanctity.

  38. I think dis is govt.strategy to reduce the age limit of general aspirants…because if they debarred from UPSC exam than definitely they move towards the private sector for completing digital india mission of modi……kyoki NDA govt. Chahti hai ki jyada se jyada citizen private sector aur multi national company me job kare kyoki Indian government ne foreign country se Mou/agreement Jo kiya hai agar employee nahi mile to phr aage kaise badega india……wah re andhe leadero tumhe general walo ke sath hi ye krna tha…….constitution utha ke dekho usme ambedkar ji ne only 10 saal ka reservation likha tha……hamesha ke liye nhi agar aisa hi hai to phr sc/st ki bhi age limit change karo….

  45. Always its the general candidates suffer for gov decisions.. Constitution on one side guarantee equality by one article ad on other side by mentioning other article puya descrimination with in equality. Completly democracy, secularim, socialism etc remains as just words. If upsc things that SC ST candidates of 44 getting into service at late age then you reduce the reservation no: of years quota..why beheading the dreams of gnrl candidates by reducing there age limit from 32 and hence maintaining an anti gnrl and always pro reservation. Alrdy indian educational system, administration, governance is ruined by this so called indian reservation system and thisove to reduce age limit similar to that of colonial india, Mr Baswan sitting in AC cabin taking age limit to administarion capacity ratio of aspirants, who is about in his 60’s,what logic gov is seeingbin all this. No age limit for holding the portfolio of PM CM and even Preaident.Civil service is the steel cage of countries governance amd administration not becose of those bureaucrats from elite family backgrounds..its becose of those who experienced and understood people from poor backgeound gettimg into civil service to do the SERVISE in all ita meaning. Mr Bawan you r going to be the moat hatred person Indian Youth for your irrational report if its going to be implemented..

  49. Dear Sir,I repeat. . Being a part of civil servise exam orientation and an ex-civil servise aspirant,you ,along with we aspirants can understand what is the real effect of age reduction, recomended by Mr Baswan, if it is been implemented. I gone through some of the articles and comments regarding this commity report. Sir the main reason said for reducing maximum age limit is by pointing that 32(gnrl)- 38 (sc) is far an age for being adapted to the training and job of a civil servant…!! that means EVERYONE entering into service is of from 32 to 38..!! sir the minimum age is 21. From that minimum age each person is writing this exam and competing with other and after completing all the stipulated stages only those, irrespective of age,everyone is coming to the final list among which we can see persons from different age, profession, graduation, even married and unmarried women/men. Country is recruiting a total of 1100 to 1200 persons per year for total servises. Among that it is about 300 to 350 IAS IPS IFS officers And this is the one and only exam by which one achieve these services. Sir civil service is not Armed force in which they recruit at very young age. Even in armed forces for becoming an officer they are having many windows in the form of recruitment exams. NDA, CDS, AFCAT, direct ssb lik SSC Tech, TGC etc. there they are recruiting by many ways like above. So making civil servises equal to that of armed forces, in recruitment and and way of training, it will seem too ridiculous to mention this exam as civil servise exam rather it can be named Civil Force exam And youngsters can be recruited where majority will be surely from elite backgrounds living in metros and cities, born and bought up by their high class parents, who are having money and access to all sought of orientation and all. They can complete graduation go directly to coaching institutes attempt by attempt despite of money nor responsibilty for family, financial tensions etc. .they will reach the elite servise chairs and look after policy making implementation all in the country, were majority population who are in rural areas.Those who got awared about civil servise exam at an age of 26 27 and have to work still for family there educational loans,home loans, sisters marriage brothers study and even who may be pursuing a distant graduation… along with there responsibility have to stand like stray dogs around this inhuman, insensitive system…!!!Even recently many state pscs jas incresed there age and also SSC but upsc is plaining to go in reverse. Sir age reduction matter written by an elite man in by sitting in his AC cabin with his golden pen should not be allowed to see day light which will understimate dreams of lakhs of students from rural and financially low background. Really it is unconstitutional and inhuman sir..tnqq
