The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has long been regarded as the gateway to India’s top administrative services, including IAS, IPS, IFS, and more. With a rich legacy and a rigorous selection process, it has shaped the nation's governance for decades.

However, in the face of rapid modernization, private sector innovation, and changing governance models, it's worth asking:

• Is the UPSC exam still the best way to recruit India’s top administrators?
• Does the exam test the right skills for governance in today’s digital-first, citizen-centric environment?
• Are reforms needed in the exam structure or the services it leads to?
• How does the pressure and popularity of UPSC affect youth choices and career planning?

This thread is intended to be an open discussion. Whether you're an aspirant, a civil servant, or just a concerned citizen, your perspective matters.
