UPSC must rethink the effectiveness of Time and Question Management in Every paper particularly GS4
Take the case of 2022 GS4 PAPER. TO ME, that paper is absolutely senseless to say the least. In other GS (1,2,3) to a larger extent one can go with prior preparation. But in GS4 case studies : No one can prepare beforehand for Case study Part other than seeing PYQ and making sense out of it.
I wonder whether this exam is a Time test or Aptitude test for A Future Bureaucrat. If UPSC does give more time for students to think and write, they can really write brilliant answer which makes a lot of sense.
But by Giving Gigantic Section A part with Editorial like Case studies in Section B, that too to finish it off in a span of 3 hours, The whole process becomes a mere ritual
Breaking Mental resolve of a Sincere aspirants doesn't make any sense as it deprive UPSC to see who can bring innovative solutions to ever lasting problems in India.
I left one case study. While writing, my two fingers stopped responding for movement as it got paralysed in between. Yet i couldn't complete.
If i think in GS4, Time is LOST
If i don't think and Write, Quality is LOST
IN BOTH CASES, MARKS ARE LOST!!!
I STILL DON'T HAVE CLUE HOW DID PEOPLE FINISH THIS PAPER WITH QUALITY. SALUTE THEM
