For more details and updates, candidates should visit the official UPSC website. Former RBI Governor calls for UPSC exam reforms Duvvuri Subbarao, former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, has proposed significant changes to the recruitment system for India's civil services. Writing in The Times of India , he recommended reducing both the upper age limit and the number of attempts for the UPSC Civil Services Examination. He also suggested the introduction of a structured, annual mid-career entry route into the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) for professionals in their early 40s. Concerns over lost productive years and exam pressure Commenting on the 2024 civil service results, Subbarao congratulated successful candidates but raised concerns about the long-term impact on those who do not qualify after repeated attempts. 'For every successful candidate, there are at least ten others who too have invested years in preparation but have failed to make the grade. They are back at square one. An abysmal waste of productive years?' he wrote. He criticised the current policy of allowing six attempts up to age 32, saying it encourages aspirants to keep preparing due to the 'sunk cost fallacy.' Advocates mid-career IAS entry route and streamlined youth recruitment Subbarao called for limiting the number of attempts to three and reducing the upper age limit to 27. He also proposed a permanent, annual IAS entry channel for mid-career professionals aged 40–42. 'They can pursue other careers and take another shot at the exam mid-career,' he noted. While supporting continued recruitment of young candidates, he emphasised that the system should be modernised. 'The civil service exam has vastly improved from the time I took it over 50 years ago. But there is still a need to push the envelope.'
