Ethical dilemmas are a core component of the UPSC examination process, especially in the Ethics, Integrity, and Aptitude paper. Candidates are presented with scenarios that challenge their moral judgement and decision-making. They are expected to critically analyze situations, considering the implications of various choices, and demonstrate an understanding of ethical principles and values relevant to public service. This aspect of the examination assesses not only the candidates' ethical understanding but also their ability to respond to challenging situations responsibly and with integrity, mirroring real-world administrative challenges.
