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.
Background – Baswan Committee
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:
- Sri B.S. Baswan – Chairman.
- Shri B N Navalawala.
- Dr. Hari Pratap Gautam.
- D. Anil Sahasrabudhe.
- Prof. Peter Ronal deSouza.
- Prof. B Mahadevan.
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- To suggest the timeframe for implementation of the revised pattern of Examination.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

What will be the age limit aftr Baswan committee report for general ctgry?
I think the max.age limit should not be less than 30 yr.for gen. Cat.
completely agree….aspirants should protest if any reduction in age limit…..
no, age limit atleast must be 34 years.
Yes what benefits will be achieved by reductions of age it must be increased so that ray of hope may give life to certain aspirant who are above 30 and india is our country so it should think for giving hope in leiu of destroying it
Yes u r right Fahim, Students should actually protest to increase it. rather than decreasing. It should be 34-35 for all. irrespective of category
I think the max.age limit should not be less than 10 yr.for gen. cat.
it is not possible because a law & MBBS students passed out at the age of 24 years
Good evening sir, i am shiva from telangana. i am not asking in fluent language. sorry for this.
sir, my school egication upto 10th is govt school so i am not get english and hindi in clearly. i am started english and hindi subjects in 6th class. and after 10th hindi is not subject and english is only one subject to a year.
now i am completed degree bot i dont have hindi and english. but i want a civil service officer i have subject knowledge but now i cont explain in hindi r english. so how to write i am.
is north states are only india…?, what is about south indians. we are some peoples r poor so we didnt get private study thats why we r here. but, is indian govt for rich people r all…?, if all how to take all indians, our language is not hindi and english so how to get understand.
sir we want civils in our state languages then we can explain clearly, other wise we are going back…..
@Shiva: Civil Services Mains exam as well as interview can be attempted in regional languages as well.
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?
hello sir, me poonam garg from sonebhadra u.p. nd my question is there any possibility of eliminating optional paper from CSE exams in 2017 by UPSC? plzz sir tell me
can be a chance…if level playing field has to be made up
yaha age limit par jyada focus karo….optional itna matter nhi karta yaro……
There will be no change in 2017 exams. Any major change will be only for 2018 exam.
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.
your means that who persons have above 26 year. he must decision for suicide ..
okkk
i am right
sudhar jao sc st wolo k liye chhoot q hain kiya wo insan nahi hain ya hm insan nahi hain
pta nhi tum logo ko kiya ho gaya hai sudhar jao ab kisi k saath koi na insafi nhi hogi rule sb k liye ek barbr hoge
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.
please please please please
do not remove optionals there are candidates who rely on optionals.
and dont dare to remove electrical engineering.DO NOT REMOVE OPTIONALS
Age limit for St/sc
Put common syllabus for all…remove optionals. ..have one objective type test in mains to cover diverse topics on prelim pattern but with higher level of difficulty. …..it will reduce subjectivity element. …Make English and language paper compulsory 50 marks each. ..45 minutes test. ..
Very good suggestion..
very wrong suggestion.
Do not remove optional & age limit & attempt open category
Max age limit should be 38 yrs like all others state psc have for general categorie aspirants
I m 25 years old now n working very hard for CSE but i m confused regarding age wise eligibility as upsc wants to reduce the age So should i start preparing for CSE 2017 or wait for the committee report??
If age for general category is reduced it would shatter the dreams of many aspirants it shouldn’t b done
protest protest protest…..Baswan go back……
yes off course baswan go back and don’t return in future…..
You should continued ur preparation because it is very hard to implement b s baswan committee for the government .best of luck
as like other states upper age limit should be increased…
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”.
sir, today is August 11 2016, any update regarding the submission of report?
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
Any update of baswan committee report??????
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
its totaly unfair with general candidates.aaj jab ham aazad ho gaye h to fir britisho ki policy apnai ja rahi h.upsc me 2011 se jo silsila suru hua hai uska sabse jyada nuksan rural background aur gen.can.ko hua h.IAS EK JOB NAHI EK AUTHORITY HAI AUR ISKE LIYE MATURE PERSONALITY KI JARURAT HOTI HAI NA FUNKY YOUTH KI.AUR RAHI BAT NAITIKTA AUR NISHTHA KI TO CSAT SE NAHI WO SONCH BADALNE SE AAYEGI.CSAT TO SIRF TECH AUR NON TECH KO DIFFERENCTIAT KAR UNKO BAHAR KARNE K LIYE H.UPER AGE LIMIT KAM KAR DENE SE SYSTEM BADLAW NAHI ANEWALA H.USKE LIYE EK FULLY SENSITIVE AUR MATURE PERSONALITY KI JARURAT H.UPPER AGE LIMIT GEN.K LIYE 35 HONI CHAHIYE KYUKI KOI JARURI NAHI H KI GEN H TO USKO BASIC FACILITY MILI HI HOGI. UP,,,AGE LIMIT KAM KARNE SE SABSE JYDA NA INSAAFI GEN K SATH HOGI JO KAHI SE V SAMBIDHAN K AADARSHO K ANUKUL NAHI KAHA JA SAKTA.AAP GEN KO RESERVATION NAHI DE SAKTE HO TO MUKA TO DE SAKTE HO NA.26 SAAL KARNA EK RURAL AREA CANDIDATE KE SATH KYA JUSTICE HOGA.SAMBIDHAN KA AADARSH TO SABKO SATH LEKAR CHALNA N KI EK KO DABAKAR DUSRE KA BIKAS KARNA.JAI HIND…….
why government want to suppress gen category people and what about the aspirant who try hard to get ias ips jobs and he left his job and all to become ias and his age 27 and from economicaly back ard general aspirant they kill baswan or do suicide only option they have left agar yeh report lagu hui toh kitna aspirant spoil honga baswant ni janta na hi commitee k member jante ha kyunki baswan k bacha ko settle honga na isliya agar apna ladka ko is situation m rakkar dekha hota kabi asi recomendation ni krt
baswan ki recommendation agar sarkar n man li toh many aspirant spoil nd do suicide bt i going to kill baswan nd its memmber
dont change age and attempt else that change all u need plz dont spoil general plz nt all general r rich they r suppressed
dnt change age attempt plz dnt spoil general
yes, you are right
Please don’t reduce age baswan committee
what about optinal sir..
Why do they make change always in central examination and not even touch the state services ????
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.
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.
sir please don’t change age limit
age limit should Not Be reduced rather it is so competitive nowdays that they should increase the upper age limit for general candidates…….do not play with the future of candidates
Age LIMIT KISI KEEMAT PE KAM NAHI HONI CHAHIYE GENERAL CANDIDATES ITNA MAR MR K QUALIFY KARTA HAI KISI TARAH USE KITNA PARESHAN KARNA CHAHTE HAIN YE LOG……..rather increase the age limit to 35 FOR general candidates ………GENERAL CANDIDATE MEHNAT KARE,RESERVATION SE LADE, aur ab uske sath ye anyay?????????? BASWAN COMITTE GO BACK
U r correct varnish keep on whole nation is with u
TOTALLY UNFAIR DONT EVEN THEY THINK OF REDUCING AGE LIMIT THEY SHOULD INCREASE AGE LIMIT FOR GENERAL CANDIDATES.
Yes I agree whole more than 70 lakes support u
In my opinion they should increase upper age limit to 35 yrs like state psc…It will be of grt help to economically poorer sections and also rural….
Why do these committees not take them into consideration????
Not everyone will have a knowledge abt these exams…By the time they are set completely for the exams leaving behind their careers,such reports come in between like a spoilsport!!!! Plz consider raising the age limit !!!!
paper-2c-sat question paper shood be morality,case stady,decision making problem solving, present time social and administration cruipt, social behaviour shood be changing, difdrent type crime started,so science releted question compulsarry, and all matter is good,
Sir what is the advantages in reducing the age limit only for shake of standardisation, think of large number of aspirant who r preparing for their last attempt they will just break down completely ,all their ray of hope will destroy, sir pliz think for them, for established committe it will only be simple decision but for thousands it will be breaking down of journey and hope please please please please think for them descion can give life to thousands.
Totaly bakbaas hai ye committee upsc ne banayi hai aise samay me comm- ne wo report pesh ki hai jo upsc karna chati hai mai sirf ye kehna chahta hoo ki ye comm- to hindi students ke bibaad ke baad banayi thi to aise me is comm- me aisa kuchh nahi hai or sabse bari baat age limit ko leka to mera ye kehna hai ki upsc har 2-4 year par pattern ko badle ki shochti to aise me iska students par boora prabhav parta hai upsc exam koi 1-2 year me complet nahi hota isme samay lagta hai or uper se ye pattern ko badne me students ke na sirf age badhti hai balki students ke prayas bhi kam ho jate hai iska example hai 2011 ka pattern se na sirf student ke 2016 tak prayas kharab hue balki unki age bhi badhi kya usko upsc Lauta sakti hai friends nahi lauta sakti desh me ias ips ka bahut bada hissa 2010 ke pattern se ias bana hai to kya 2010 se pehle pattern ke ias officers ne apna kaam honesty nahi kiya hai ya upsc aisa sochti ki sirf csat jaise pattern se hi desh ko behtar ias ips milenge no friends 2010 me hindi medium result 50% tha aaj 5% hai kya is par upsc ne students ne vichar kiya mere hisab se ye saara fasad khatam karke central goverment 2010 ka pattern lagu kare mere hisaab se phir koi bibaad nahi hoga ye saara bibaad 2011 ke 2013 pattern ke baad hua hai sirf 2010 ke pattern se hi hindi medium ka result 50% tak aa sakega or yadi govt ne koi naya pattern lagu kiya to isse na sirf result kharab hoga balki age badhegi attemped kum honge mai janta hu ki ye advise dene bala me sirf akela hun lekin yakin mano yadi pattern 2010 lagoo hua to all students completly happy or ant —————-me ye kahna chahta hu ki me upper age reduce karne ka 200% virodh karta hu kyonki issse pehle bhi ias me 35-36 year ke student select hue hai or yadi age reduce huyi to iska asar desh ke sc st obc varg par padega so i thing this committee is report totaly bakbaas upsc ko achha hota yadi 1 year students se advise li hoti kyonki ek servise man ias officer upsc ke exam ko good nahi bana sakta sirf students hi saral sabdo me keh sakte hai good luck
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….

Any report about this invain baswan committee who try to create unemploymentation nd suppress general aspirant s general aspirant need more mark to qualify BT obc sc st need half of them to get ias r ips then no body think about this fucked system stop reservation recommend this to abolish reservation a rust on India
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..
No need to change the present system I dont understand why he is much intrested in optional removal age limit is also not a matter in Telangana state service board there is an age limit of 44yrs for all examinatns including Group 1 jobsi
i strongly feel that age-limit should not be reduced for any category. it can hamper the quality of those who qualify in 3rd or 4th or subsequent attempts. there is also danger that reducing age-limit will affect the enthusiasm of preparing candidates.
Age reduction decision has been worst for lakhs aspirant.goverment why always push general category towards discrimination . inequality.now time is over .we all general category have joined moist like outfits
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
Dear sir,
Notification regarding upsc civil service open in the month of Feb 2018
But the age criteria which the advertesment maDe is cut off age on 01.08.2018.For this no. Of aspirants are failed to apply.does it should be 01.02.2018or before as per the other details of the advertisement is concern.Is there any logic behind the age cut off upto 01.08.2018 or upsc made casually.it dashed the many hopes of aspirants.kindly guide us
Thank”s & Regards
