Mumbai NGO, top experts join hands to train students for civil services exams

Mumbai: In an important step towards giving the Indian civil services an inclusive look, a Mumbai based NGO and top experts of the filed are running a campaign to select talented students from the marginalized sections of the country so as to train them free of cost for the coveted exams.

"Aishabai & Haji Abdul Latif Charitable Trust, a renowned NGO based in Mumbai, has joined hands with the country's top UPSC and MPSC coaching classes to select and train talented students free of cost for one year", Farooque Naikwade, the main architect of the campaign said while talking to ummid.com.

Naikwade - author of the books 'Steelframe' and 'IASMantra', is responsible for bringing hundreds of students from rural area and lower socio-economic strata including minorities into the administration.

"Under the campaign, Steelframe Talent Search Abhiyan, the trust in association with Synergy Study Point of Pune, Discovery IAS of New Delhi and Liven Information technologies Pvt. Ltd. is conducting examination at 14 centres across India to select 100 students to be trained 50 each for UPSC and MPSC exams", he added.

The exams to be held on September 30, 2012 will select talented students based on written tests comprising of three sections. Out of them a total of 100 students - 50 for UPSC and 50 for MPSC, will then be selected after personal interviews.

Though the test is open to all, there is a 50 per cent reservation for the students from the minority community.

 
It is said that there is a gap in Indian policy due to the inadequate representation of people from rural areas and from the minority communities specially the Muslims in the Indian Civil Services.

It is expected that the campaign running side by side with other NGOs of the country will help boost the tally of marginalised sections of the country in the Indian civil services.

Selecting Optionals

1. Selecting an optional is the most important step in CSE. But the prevailing trend is that one opts the subjects in which the largest number of students get through. I would like to mention that the most important factor is not the “numbers”, but the percentage. 1.1 The syllabus prescribed by the UPSC in all subjects is a little tougher than the degree level, but a little lighter than PG level. The reason is that the standard of Delhi University or Calcutta University is taken as the benchmark by the UPSC. In most of the universities, obtaining a Degree is easier than passing CBSE XIIth standard. The reason is lighter syllabus and liberal evaluation. As a result, a candidate who goes through the UPSC syllabus may think it very tough. The interesting aspect is that this toughness is felt in one’s own subject only. For example, a botany student may feel the botany syllabus in CSE is very tough. But when going through the syllabus of any other subject, he may feel it “easier”. The rea...
