The major suggestions that the Committee made are as follows:

1. Candidates with 50 % or more marks in graduation can only appear for the exam
   NOT IMPLEMENTED
2. Reduce the age limit: 25 for general, 28 for OBC and 30 for SC/ST
   NOT IMPLEMENTED
3. Restrict the number of attempts to 5, irrespective of category.
   NOT IMPLEMENTED
4. Personal narrative before the interview. Those selected for the Interview will be asked to submit a Personal Narrative in advance, which may be autobiographical, where candidates can briefly discuss their personal history and reasons for aspiring to join civil services. The aspirant may also elaborate on their academic, non-academic, and practical experience, which may help them be a successful civil servant, and discuss their success or failure in managing specific/unusual situations. The Interview Board should consider the personal narrative, and specific questions can be asked from it. Further, fine-tuning the Interview process by structuring the Interview is necessary for which candidates are awarded marks specifically on various facets of their personality.

5. Revise the exam pattern every 5 years Given the current fast changing scenario, both at the domestic as well as global level, the selection methodology would require a periodic review once every five years by the UPSC.
   NOT IMPLEMENTED
6. Remove group-B jobs from Civil service exam
   NOT IMPLEMENTED
7. Among the group A jobs, create two separate civil service exams– one for [IAS, IPS and IRS], while a second separate exam for other remaining group A jobs.
   NOT IMPLEMENTED
8. Do Not allow past-toppers to re-appear in the exam more than once. Once the candidate is selected for a service and if she/he joins, she/he may be given only one more chance to re-appear in the examination if she/he is otherwise eligible for appearing. For this, a candidate may be permitted to leave and may be allowed to retain his seniority.
   NOT IMPLEMENTED
9. Prelim score card should have validity of two years
   NOT IMPLEMENTED
10. Give a specific booklist along with the syllabus.
    NOT IMPLEMENTED
11. Three days interview, Group discussion, psychological-profiling similar to SSB.
    NOT IMPLEMENTED
12. Each candidate should be interviewed by “ALL boards” then take an average score, so there is no bias.
    NOT IMPLEMENTED
13. In the elite Management colleges, one needs to send an “admission-essay” before the interview. Nigvekar recommended a similar system before UPSC interviews.
    NOT IMPLEMENTED
14. Consolation prize for those who fail in an interview and they should be given at least some non-gazetted posts or alternative career opportunities.
    NOT IMPLEMENTED
15. Service preference can be changed during training A candidate may be allowed to review their service options within one month of joining the Foundation Course, and allotment of service and care should be made by the government before the Foundation Course ends. Counseling for the various services should be given in the first two weeks of the foundation course.
    NOT IMPLEMENTED
16. Detailed Application form should contain elaborate information about each service. It should explicitly mention the rules about how service/cadre allocations are made.
    NOT IMPLEMENTED
17. Count language marks in final list Marks in Language papers (Paper I and II) will count for the Grand Tally of Marks based on which merit will be fixed. A candidate must also obtain qualifying marks in each language paper set by the Commission to qualify for selection.
    NOT IMPLEMENTED
18. Double the Language marks for North East candidates In the case of candidates from the North-Eastern region, who are exempted from appearing in Indian language paper at present, their marks in English language papers would be doubled for the parity purpose in the total of effects.
    NOT IMPLEMENTED
19. Only graduation related optional subject For this optional subject, the candidate can choose any of the topics included in a given group of optional subjects that most closely correlate with the central/core subject(s) studied at graduation or the subject studied by them at the post-graduation level. If a candidate holds only a general pass course degree at the graduate level, they may be allowed to indicate any of the subjects the University has examined based on which their choice of optional subject can be exercised. The candidate should then demonstrate their preference for an optional subject out of the group of subjects that matches or most closely correlates to their chosen subject studied at the University. In case of any difficulty or doubt regarding the group of subjects relating to their chosen subject, the Commission's decision shall be final. However, the Commission may issue suitable clarification /guidelines in this regard.
    NOT IMPLEMENTED
20. Six groups of Optional Subjects
    PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED
21. Assessment Post-Training After the candidate has completed their training (including the Foundation course), they will be assessed by the training institutions. This would include their assessment during the period of training and their performance in a written examination conducted by the training institution/academy at the end of training. The marks based on their overall activity may be added to the marks obtained in the Civil Services examination for the final determination of intra-service seniority in the service. A copy of each candidate's annual assessment confidential roll will be sent to the UPSC for record and analysis every year.
    IMPLEMENTED
22. Create separate R & D Centre The UPSC should set up a dedicated research Centre which can exclusively concentrate on research and development at micro and macro levels to create question bank, online examination, observing the recruitment process in developed countries etc.
