SC, ST, and OBC students in UPSC 2023


The probability of getting lower Interview Marks with Higher Written Marks is higher for SC, ST, and OBC students in UPSC 2023

Please see the attached graphic, which shows the interview marks got by the Top 50 Written marks in each category.

We took the top 50 written marks in each category and analyzed the impact of interview marks. The results were surprising

For SC category
We took top 50 written marks of SC category and analyzed interview marks.

We noticed disproportionately large number of students got marks in the range of 127-160 marks which was not visible in other category.

Only 1 student got more than 200 marks from SC category. There were very few who were given above 171 marks.

In scheduled category, there is a greater probability of getting lower interview marks if the candidate has scored a higher written marks

For General Category

We took top 50 written marks of General category and analyzed interview marks.

We noticed just 12 students got less than 176 marks.

Disproportionately high number of students got marks between 176 to 196 marks which is not visible in other categories.

In General Category, almost no student got less than 146 marks.

In General category, there is a greater probability of higher interview marks if the candidate has scored higher written marks.

So how come two sets of the same comparable written marks get different interview marks?

I need to conclude that

The probability of getting lower Interview Marks with Higher Written Marks is higher for SC, ST, and OBC students in UPSC

Helen Mirren once said: Before you argue with someone, ask yourself.......

Helen Mirren once said: Before you argue with someone, ask yourself, is that person even mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective. Because if not, there's absolutely no point. Not every argument is worth your energy. Sometimes, no matter how clearly you express yourself, the other person isn’t listening to understand—they’re listening to react. They’re stuck in their own perspective, unwilling to consider another viewpoint, and engaging with them only drains you. There’s a difference between a healthy discussion and a pointless debate. A conversation with someone who is open-minded, who values growth and understanding, can be enlightening—even if you don’t agree. But trying to reason with someone who refuses to see beyond their own beliefs? That’s like talking to a wall. No matter how much logic or truth you present, they will twist, deflect, or dismiss your words, not because you’re wrong, but because they’re unwilling to see another side. Maturity is...

EXPLAINING THE PREAMBLE OF THE INDIAN CONSTITUTION

Thanks Hari Singh Shekhawat for EXPLAINING THE PREAMBLE OF THE INDIAN CONSTITUTION: Given the detailed nature of the Constitution of India, the Preamble serves a vital role in capturing the essence of the Constitution. Let’s revisit its core values on the 76th Republic Day. As India prepares to celebrate its 76th Republic Day under the theme “Swarnim Bharat: Virasat aur Vikas” (Golden India: Legacy and Progress), the day also marks a historic moment to reflect on the core values of the Indian Constitution, which came into effect on January 26, 1950.

The BJP opposes the Telangana caste census primarily due to concerns about its political motivations, alleging that the Congress party is using it for electoral gain rather than genuine welfare of Backward Classes (BCs)  1 3 .  BJP leaders argue that the census distracts from Congress's unfulfilled promises to BCs and could exacerbate social divisions  2 4 .  Additionally, there are fears within the BJP that a detailed caste enumeration might reveal ongoing upper-caste dominance in politics and society, which could challenge their support base  7 8 . The BJP's main arguments against the caste census include: Political Manipulation : BJP leaders assert that the Congress party is using the caste census for political advantage rather than for the welfare of Backward Classes (BCs), claiming it distracts from unfulfilled promises made to these communities  2 4 .
