Some comments on the thread below. My first thought is that if these are the type of questions asked in the UPSC, then surely NLU grads have a chance of doing very well? Maybe it's time more NLU grads think of giving this exam, even at the cost of 2 years prep?

"This is so worthless. Dumping Oppenheimer story in basic english - verbose & pointless. Our priorities seem skewed when we test outdated skills in exams instead of nurturing critical thinkers and innovators. We urgently need to reassess this exam and the candidates."
