क्यों UPSC छोड़कर राज्यों के BPSC, UPPSC और MPPSC की तरफ भाग रहे हैं छात्र? | Jagran Josh

For decades, cracking the UPSC Civil Services Examination and becoming an IAS or IPS officer was considered the ultimate dream for millions of Indian youths. However, recent data and changing trends show a massive structural shift: over 1.25 lakh candidates dropped out of the UPSC Prelims pool recently, redirecting their focus entirely toward State Public Service Commissions (PSCs) like BPSC (Bihar), UPPSC (Uttar Pradesh), and MPPSC (Madhya Pradesh). This comprehensive breakdown explores the critical reasons behind this sudden migration: The Reality of Shrinking Vacancies: While UPSC vacancies have been highly unpredictable and hit record lows in recent years (dropping to 748 in 2021 and remaining highly competitive at 933 in 2026), State PSCs have stepped up. For instance, BPSC notified over 2,000 vacancies in a single cycle, and UPPSC sharply increased its seats to nearly 1,000, offering a statistically higher chance of selection. The Trap of Extreme Unpredictability: UPSC has shifted drastically from fact-based testing to highly analytical, application-based questions. With CSAT difficulty rising and General Studies papers becoming incredibly lengthy, candidates feel the exam is becoming less predictable, making long-term preparation financially and mentally draining. Streamlined State Calendars & Transparency: Previously notorious for delays, State Commissions in UP, Bihar, and MP have dramatically cleaned up their acts. They are now releasing predictable annual calendars, conducting transparent exams, and finishing recruitment cycles at a much faster pace. The Perfect 'Plan B': Because State PSCs follow a very similar Prelims-Mains-Interview blueprint as the UPSC, candidates can easily pivot their core preparation to secure a prestigious Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) or Deputy SP (DSP) rank in their home states without wasting valuable years of their youth. Is the UPSC craze truly fading, or are today's smart aspirants simply prioritizing career security over emotional attachment to a single exam? Get the latest updates!
