UPSC Denies Bias in Interviews
The UPSC, which conducts exams for government jobs like bureaucrats and diplomats, says its interview process is fair.
Union Minister Jitendra Singh told the Rajya Sabha that the UPSC makes sure there's no bias.
They randomize candidates for interviews, don't share their categories or written exam marks with the interviewers, and keep the interviewers' identities secret.
This way, everyone is treated equally.
The UPSC also publishes the marks of all selected candidates online to be transparent.
The exams have three parts: a preliminary test, a main exam, and an interview.
UPSC interviews are conducted without bias or discrimination, according to Union Minister Jitendra Singh.
Candidates are randomized and assigned to interview boards just before the interviews.
The category of candidates and their written exam marks are not disclosed to the interview board.
The identity of interview board members is not disclosed to the candidates.
The UPSC publishes the marks of all recommended candidates on its official website for transparency.
