Background
After the change of civil service (Mains) exam syllabus in 2013, UPSC aspirants had been demanding additional age/attempt limit. Large scale protests organized during December session of parliament..
So far, UPSC and Personnel ministry had shown an indifference to these demands (as per the Minister’s reply in Rajya Sabha and RTIs to UPSC and Personnel Ministry.)
But now, Personnel Ministry’s official site has uploaded a new PDF notification:
Link: http://persmin.gov.in/AIS1/Docs/MoreAttempts.pdf
It reads:
Subject: Civil Service Examination- Relaxation of number of attempts
The Central Government has approved “two additional attempts to all categories of candidates w.e.f. Civil Services Examination 2014, with consequential age relaxation of maximum age for all categories of candidates, if required.”
—end of copy paste—
Then upper age limit turns out to be General = 32, OBC = 35, SC/ST=37.
For more elaboration, wait for some update/press release to come on upsc.gov.in/.

Sir,
I am not sure but the new look is not so reader friendly. It seems as if i have to take undue stress.And It cannot be only due to older reading habits.
Kindly look into it
Regards.
please bring back the old look
please bring back the old look.plzzz
murnal sir, please bring back the old one, that was good and user friendly…
सर,
अब तो बदल दीजिये। आखे दया की पात्र बन गई हैं नए look को पढ़ते-2।
missing old version…aj site dekh ke aisa laga jaise koi proxy page khul gya ho…kaha gya yellow blue color…
Bhai plz bring back old look…..
nothing is permanent in this world except change…..always accept change….gradually u will acclimatised to the change. it will take some time
wonderful, here also change come.
Your previous site was much better than this new one. Fonts, Format, Look everything in this new site is irritating. I would strongly suggest that you revert to your earlier avatar. While earlier version caught the attention at a first glance and had a mass appeal, present format did not have any of those features and also took me a while to realize if it is meant for civil services aspirant. I am a regular visitor of your site, and going through your site is one of my morning rituals. This new look has spoiled my day.
sir this new look of your page is great, sir ab thora mains analysis pe bhi dhyan digiye
Sir..this new look is not that much good. it’s like ordinary website
MRUNAL’s style and standard is missing here (i think old one was better than this)
The new look of the webpage is good except the removal of those icons associated with each article. eg. Lagaan (Aamir Khan) icon on Land Reforms article. These icons help to identify the articles easily.
sir weightage for csat paper 2 is been reduced?
sir plz go to the older look this is very pale
Mrunalsir .I beg plz revert to the old look.ITz not dat this new lookis really bad but the thing is that we indiansare used to old things so much dat ..plz sir last 4 years se im followin you and can’t accept ur new avtaar …plz sir old look vapas le aiye
regards
ur biggest fan :(
ffdfff
i think most of us are nt comfortable with this….please sir switch to old one…..
why conversion into new look? please get to back to old AVATAR……
sir i am preparing for upsc and i am from gujrat,i want to know exam in gujrati medium is right choice?gujrati medium material available for upsc?
I think we should adapt to this new look, If Mrunal sir has brought this change there must be some rational behind it…
That is what India needs “CHANGE”. It will keep us focused to our shared conviction….
I welcome this change. We should appreciate the effort put by Mrunal and team and accept it ……
firstly what was need of the change??
not feeling comfortable with this change..their was emotional attachment to that look and feel now it is looking like something strange …..
i.e right
MRUNAL SIR. AT PRESENT I’M 26 and not given ias exam so according to this notice am i having six attempts and six years or only four years and four attempts .
Mrunal why don’t you apply..
NO PRIZE FOR GUESSING UPSC RANK 1 (2014)
he is Mrunal :)
Exactly brother..
Old Look was better than new. It is very hard to read matter now.
yes mrunal bhai please switch over to older one.
Mrunal bhaiya ,
Undo the change …plz ..not feeling comfortable with this change.. looking like something strange….lag raha hai kisi “Aznabi ” ke ghar me hai….
Hahahaha, whaddya think dude, Mrunal sets the rule? There is a limit man.
After the recent change (re-change of today) the website is looking better. Sir if there can be some colour combination change so that we can differentiate between the articles on the main page then it would be even better (I loved that picture which you used to post with article title, that “Raja” picture with “Ethics” topi). Thank you for reducing the comment size on left. Yes people are susceptible to change but being a fan of yours its just humble request :)
sir, please change the website to older one iam not liking this new change you made to this website thanks
sir, please change to olde one format
Mrunal Bhai please change the colour scheme of the site bcoz pink on white background is irritating to eyes. Maybe pink on darker background colour.
सर,
मैं आप के ब्लॉग का “बड़ा” प्रशंसक हूँ। मैंने कम समय में काफी कुछ सिखा हैं आप के ब्लॉग से। जब से आपने इसका “रूप” परिवर्तित किया हैं, मैं एक भी ‘लेख’ नहीं पढ़ पाया।एक आखिरी निवेदन हैं सर….इसे पुराने रूप में परिवर्तित कर दीजिये।
Thnx a lot Mrunal Sir&All Team, New Look wonderful.Stop Negative Commenttttt….Accept Changes.
not feeling good… plz undo to older look bro… feeling irritated..
Day before u were path director but new look is path obstructor..sir plz back old look & whats u explain bit by bit i.e student friendly..
sir plz undo the change. We all share symbolic relationship with the old format.:)
Dear Mrunal Sir, the sweetness of ‘THE’ website lies in its simplicity and originality. Please re-consider the look of ‘OUR’ website.
Every one should change with time and the time is for this type of website , yes color selection could be better and overall this look is better than before .
To all which don’t like the change as you know the human nature is resist changes in life ( i think this is also happening to you ) just bear for 2 or 3 days and you become used to this change .
I personally think the old look and format was outdated and this is better (not color selection but can be better )
common, that was the trade mark of Mrunal .Logos dont change so do the style.
