Imagine spending months preparing, only to face questions where even the 'right' answer isn’t right. That’s exactly what happened in 2026. Candidates found 8 GS Paper-I questions; including two with *no* factually correct options; and challenged them. They didn’t just complain; they cited official documents, laws, and records. UPSC never replied. No explanation. No feedback. So now, they’re at CAT pleading for justice. In an exam where 0.5 marks can decide your future, 16 marks is a game-changer. Some might’ve missed Mains by this margin. The real question? Should an exam that decides India’s future civil servants let this slide? UPSC’s silence speaks volumes. Will CAT step in? Or will merit fall to bureaucratic delay?
