In a free-wheeling interview to TOI correspondent Shoeb Khan, UPSC chairman DP Agrawal shared his views on changing the exam format, corruption cases involving bureaucrats, and likely effect of reforms on the education system. Agarwal was in Kota to confer degrees to toppers of Rajasthan Technical University (RTU)
Q. Do you feel the need to change the pattern of UPSC exam?
Ans: Change in inevitable. The change in format of Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) exam is necessary with rapid changes in our education system. The old method is not ineffective but needs to be revamped to keep a pace with the time. There are three stages in UPSC exam- preliminary, mains and personality test (interview). UPSC has already constituted a high-power panel to look into the matter. Its report is expected to come out early next year. It is most likely to be in effect from 2013.
