The civil service examination has significantly evolved in both approach and structure over the years. Initially, the focus was on classical subjects with a heavy emphasis on memorization. However, contemporary changes encourage analytical skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. The examination pattern has also transitioned to include preliminary, mains, and interview stages that assess a candidate’s holistic aptitude rather than merely rote learning. Additionally, the inclusion of current affairs and dynamic subjects reflects the changing socio-political landscape. This evolution aims to produce well-rounded civil servants capable of addressing modern governance challenges.
