Recent UPSC exams have adapted their assessment parameters to prioritize a more holistic evaluation. This includes the introduction of a qualitative aspect in scoring, emphasizing critical thinking, analytical skills, and the ability to articulate opinions on societal issues. The weightage given to ethics and integrity in assessments has increased, reflecting the changing needs of governance. Additionally, there is a stronger focus on interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence in the personality test, ensuring candidates demonstrate not just knowledge, but also the capacity to handle real-world scenarios compassionately and effectively.
