Why does UPSC not release answer key few days after the exam? Isnt it hypocrisy on their part, that they ask questions regarding transparency and accountability yet refrain from follwing that.
Not releasing of answer key early is a lesser evil as compared to what will happen in case keys are released soon after exam. Passions are high at this time and those who feel agrieved by answer key would file writ petitions in court which would delay the exam process. Already many state PCS exams suffer from this malady and due to which exam results are delayed for many years. UPSC zealously guards it's process from litigation hurdles. Means may not be good but ends are justified in my opinion.
