Context
There is a renewed academic and administrative focus on the structural evolution of the Civil Services Examination (CSE), particularly its preliminary stage. The transformation of the examination—from the colonial Macaulay model to the post-independence Kothari recommendations and further reforms through committees like S.K. Khanna (2010) and Arun Nigvekar (2012)—continues to evoke debates around transparency, equity, and meritocracy.
