Why are Hindi medium selections so low?

My Limited Understanding on why Hindi selection lower side:


1. Lack of quality coaches across subjects. Most of hindi mainstream coachings rides over single personality. Even this person is good "speaker" rather than good coach, given the fast changing nature of UPSC.


2. Lack of quality Newspaper, websites and coaching portals to disseminate the requisite content. CEC, Ex Governor, Prakash singh, Top economists, scientists , even ministers et al writes columns in leading English dailies - an understanding level which no other hindi editor can achieve.


3. Level of literary development in hindi is still very less especially in technical aspects. Foreign secy or RSTV big picture panel - all are mostly English speaking people. 


4. Paper in UPSC are made by English people mainly - later just translated in other languages. Biggest Flaw/gap in CSE.


5. Hindi aspirants remains FAR FAR AWAY from real levels of competition. Sorry to say but it's reality. Competition only can help improve further even the best of bests. Mass number is not competition. Quality of competition matters. Much better in English zones like ORN.


6. Most Hindi selected people are extremely dedicated and extra hard worker self studying people. Those who leave all excuses aside and integrate best of English side like TH / RSTV Content / Best coaching CA booklets or specific topics based study after analysing PYQs. But it demand patience and perseverance which often Hindi SOCIAL MEDIA VIDEOS PHOTOS inspired aspirants lack in initial years. (Sorry if it sound politically incorrect ! But I have known quite few Hindi selected and rejected people in my journey. )


7. A few deserving ones left behind bcz of CSAT. But same stands true for English people also. CSAT is a skill - much independent of language but ARTs Vs SCIENCE/ENGG Background dependent thing. As qualifying paper it don't impact much those who deserves selection in rest all aspects.


8. Humanities mein Optional subject mein performance also depends on Medium. Understanding of Weber in English is quite different than वेबर of Hindi. Books hi nhi h Hindi mein optionals ki us level ki naa us level ki coaching h jo interlinkages smjha ske contemporary. Upsc need that dynamic understanding for top scores. 


IRRESPECTIVE OF ALL THIS ANALYSIS, SELECTION IN HINDI MEDIUM WILL KEEP HAPPENING DEPENDING ON WHEN UPSC DECIDES TO CHANGE THE RATIO OF SELECTION OR HOW MANY REALLY GOOD-GUIDED SELF-STUDYING EXTRA-HARD WORKING INDIVIDUALS JOIN THE LEAGUE.

Congratulations@rheecha_ratnam720  I had sleepless nights over Hindi medium guidance and accepting you in the program. I may have been around hundreds of students with Top Ranks through this community and the academy in the past 10 years, but if there are about 10 or so people who have turned tides in their favour by sheer hard work - in the past 10 years, you are one of them. It was because of you only, I wrote that it is challenging to write crisp answers in Hindi medium and Sandhi issues ( apart from other challneges in Hindi medium )


Very proud :)

For reasons more than one :)

I dont know Hindi medium results, but I am guessing you would be among Top 10!

Sir, she is the topper from Hindi medium.
