Till 2010, the UPSC preliminary test comprised a General
Studies paper and an optional paper. But the pattern was changed in 2011 and
Civil Service Aptitude Test (CSAT) was introduced which included two compulsory
papers: CSAT-I and CSAT-II.
According to the protesting aspirants, CSAT-II has questions
on quantitative analysis, logical reasoning and English language comprehension.
They claim that these sections have been deliberately added to keep out
students from Hindi and humanities backgrounds from cracking UPSC.
With the UPSC aspirants from TN. We reiterate for our demand on provision to write the exams in regional languages. pic.twitter.com/aMbENdzYuE
