By the way: Running with lateral entry!


If one observes the trends of recruitment by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), it appears the government intends to focus more on the lateral entry system. The declining numbers were revealed when Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh, in a reply to Rajya Sabha, stated that the number has declined in the last four years. Though he gave the numbers of all the recruitment exams conducted by UPSC, a similar trend is seen in the Civil Services exams conducted to select candidates for the top administrative posts like the IAS and IPS. The Minister stated that the number of personnel recruited by the UPSC has declined in the last four years and reached its lowest of 2,352 in 2018-19.
