Prelim exams for IAS and other civil services need not get reduced to examining the warehousing capacities of examinees.
A great number of educated youths in the country aspire to join the Indian civil services and work for the country. For being successful in their efforts, they have to pass through three gateways, namely (i) preliminary examination; (ii) main examination and (iii) interview. Only when they walk through these gates successfully, they can become members of these prestigious services. This article is focused on going through the first gateway of clearing the preliminary examination (prelims for short) and the unrealistic attitude of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) towards such exams.
