CSAT Attracts IT Professionals to Civil Service

With the change in the pattern of the Civil Services Examination (CSE) coming into effect from this year onwards, the thriving IT sector seems to be threatened with an increasing number of IT professionals signing up for the coaching classes in search of a career offering more certainty. It has also set the cash registers ringing at the coaching centres in the city.

The changed syllabus, with its proposed Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) in place of the existing Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination, puts students with an engineering and mathematics background at an advantage. As a result, the IAS coaching centres across the city have seen a jump of 10 to 15 per cent candidates in the last few months, mostly students and professionals with an engineering or IT background.

The proposal for syllabus change for the preliminary examinations was approved last year. The candidates will now have to appear for two objective- type papers designed to test their 'aptitude for civil services' as well as zero in on their 'ethical and moral dimension of decision-making'.

(News) High Court directed the UPSC to disclose results of prelims 2010

High Court directed the UPSC to disclose results of prelims 2010

The Delhi High Court has accepted the plea of a group of civil service aspirants and directed the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) to disclose the results of all qualified candidates in the preliminary examination-2010. The court, however, allowed the Commission not to disclose to the petitioners, who were unsuccessful in 2010 preliminary examination, the raw marks if they were not available with it.

"No prejudice whatsoever would be caused to any of those qualified candidates or to the UPSC, if the complete result of the qualified candidates with their roll numbers are disclosed. Further it would be in the public interest to do so," Justice S Muralidhar said in a recent order.

(Current Affairs) Important Points Of Inflation

Posted: 17 Jan 2011 09:03 PM PST

Important Points Of Inflation

The causative factors at the initial stages were the sudden boom in global commodity--12rices which transmitted to the Indian economy.
The gradual accumulation of steam in inflation was now again led by commodity prices, but this time the push came from domestic causes. The government to its credit over the last few years has pumped in additional purchasing power in rural India through the NREGA and other better directed schemes. So the impoverished ends of villages are now demanding a better life chance, meaning more food. This is one of the reasons why food inflation refuses to go away.
