Why is the UPSC-CSE GS 4 (ethics, integrity and aptitude) syllabus more IAS-centric?

Although it seems to be more in the direction of IAS However, it's not the whole truth. The reasons are as follows: Each post that is available for sale through CIVIL Services Examination is administrative position. Be it IAS, IFS, IRTS.Each service is an integral element of the state, and play their own role in the management of the nation. In all of the services you will be posted to an upper level and are you are in a position to influence the future of your company.

Let's take a take a look at the key components in the curriculum. It is divided into the parts as follows:

Ethics in professional and personal behavior - relevant to all public servant, especially those in high-level posts within their organization.

Administrative acumen like emotional intelligence, attitude study, probity, civil service aptitude etc. Since all of the services are ultimately administrative in nature, they are applicable to all of them.

The syllabus is therefore relevant to all the jobs. In the wake of last year's results of the GS-4 test, Ethics UPSC has given out an explicit warning to candidates that they should not ignore the syllabus at their own risk.

Attitude is linked to the capabilities and abilities that are based on particular perceptions. It's the way a person thinks about things. Attitude refers to a positive, negative, or indifferent attitude towards an object, person or event. Attitude is a sign of qualities or character. It is the result of attitude affecting the values that underlie it.

Attitude is a psychological and mental process. It implies that the person's attitude is innate and formed by the thoughts of his mind. General Studies paper 4 syllabus is more IAS-centric since in this exam you will have to face the same kinds of real-time cases as well as obstacles and scenarios that you'll encounter after your appointment. To combat this, a true ethical character is needed to be able to deal with the demands. Consider, for instance, that within your community, a fatal virus is rapidly spreading. There are a lot of people suffering, but resources are restricted. Private healthcare is not accessible to those who are poor. The poor have no choice, they either have to visit government hospitals or opt to suffer in suffering. In that moment, an ethics papers will help you understand how to handle such unpredictability scenarios. I was able to solve 10+ exam papers (all weren't done completely however I did think about the answers and then framed them). These answers were my notes for the relevant sections on the curriculum. Eg. If the question can be framed as "What were Gandhi's view on ethics?" Then I'll write the answer in two paragraphs in my notepad under the heading titled "Ethics Integrity and Aptitude interface" and attempt to incorporate it as often as I can. For instance, if the next test paper has a question regarding "Why should we be ethical" I'll include Gandhi's viewpoints as well as my personal views. Balance is what we should be sought after, since the test papers could contain opinions from as many as 20 people, but you are able to choose three or four.

Similarly if a case study is related to the dilemma related to wrongdoing in an international deal, I'll summarize the case/approach under "ethics in international relations". This way each case study becomes an example if connected to the correct sub-heading in syllabus and revised/used many times before exam. Eg. There was a case study on biomedical pollution being done by the only medical facility in a rural area. If it was to be shut down, people would lose the medical help but environment will be saved. Here the dilemma is between accountability/integrity vs performance/rights of people; long term vs short term goals; developing a middle path to balance interests etc. So this one case alone can be used as an example for many headings in the syllabus.

I.e. my goal was to create small notes, add them regularly and using them often during the test or thinking prior to an examinations so that I can utilize them on exam, regardless of the way a question may appear. This is only possible by thinking a lot and don't simply take notes, but actually take them in.
