Insane Voices for CSAT
THE day before, Srivatsa, the Topper (AIR I) of early nineties wrote in ToI. And today someone named Ms Shailja Chandra (whose name I could not find in the IAS list) in HT have wrote in favour of CSAT on flimsy grounds. Let me explain in some details. First argument given is "why nobody spoke against CSAT in the last four years. I, in my previous blog, have made it clear that I was the first one to speak and write as early as Nov. 2010 in Dec. 2010 issue of CSC. My contentions were simple. CSAT, the name itself is inappropriate as !. aptitude can not be tested through multiple choice questions 2. Decision making making can not be tested by questions asked as decision making depends on time, space and culture. UPSC, in the question paper, makes it non-obligatory to reply to these questions. 3. Interpersonal qualities, simillarly, on the above bases. UPSC has not asked a single question on this issue so far. 4. Translation is a major issue, nobody disputes so no comments
