UPSC will not accept this representation because .. Rules are in open and all have to abide by them. UPSC is strict on rules if they declared things much beforehand. After all .. Paper 2 is qualifying, This has value for upsc .. if not for us.Its ours problem to fix things up my friend.
But there is no rule for prelims intake. We can request to increase it.
I don’t know if it’ll work dude. I wrote ESE prelims in jan this year, and they took ppl into mains at 1:7 ratio (in addition to reducing seats from 110 to 42, a week after prelims due to this IRMS thing). So, the total number of ppl writing mains has come down to 285 for Mechanical Engineering from about 1200 the previous year.
UPSC has not just become unpredictable. It’s now being downright nasty. Let’s just hope they don’t do that to us. It doesn’t hurt to ask though.
PS: Not trying to create a panic. Just a genuine apprehension.
Even shekhar bandopadhyaya gives gomastas as agents of eic
Interesting. Even today the word ‘Gumastha’ means middleman in Telugu.
So, that’s where it’s originated. I wish upsc gave this word instead of aurang. I could’ve atleast attempted it
