It is their taste and talent in the right field that sets them apart. If you have the talent to be recognized as a brilliant IAS or IPS officer, UPSC Civil Service is the right path for you. And this is the paper which checks your aptitude for the post. Consider the question came in UPSC Mains-2015 – Q. There is a disaster-prone state having frequent landslides, forest fires, cloudbursts, flash floods and earthquakes, etc. Some of these are seasonal and often unpredictable. The magnitude of the disaster is always unanticipated. During one of the seasons, a cloudburst caused devastating floods and landslides leading to high casualties. There was major damage to infrastructure like roads, bridges and power generating units. This led to more than 100000 pilgrims, tourist and other locals trapped across different routes and locations. The people trapped in your area of responsibility includes senior citizens, patients in hospitals, women and children, hiker, tourist, ruling parties, regional presidents along with his family, additional chief secretary of the neighbouring state and prisoners in jail.

Some Elements of Philosophy too You need to prepare little bit about prominent philosophers, leaders, able administrators around. Otherwise, you would find difficult to answer such questions like one came in UPSC Mains-2016. Q. Max Weber said that “it is not wise to apply to the public administration the sort of moral and ethical norms we apply to matters of personal conscience. It is important to realize that the state bureaucracy might possess its own independent bureaucratic morality.” Critically analyse this statement. (150 words, 10 marks). Give the Ethics paper it’s due respect. You may ignore this paper only at your own peril. If you have a creative blend of mind, good language command, good writing speed, - sky is the limit.
