“I have been trying for UPSC for the last four years. Once I reached the interview stage, and twice I cleared the Prelims and mains with a lot of hard work. However, it is only now that I am realising how easy it is for some people to clear the exam by submitting fake certificates,” said Vinay Disodia, a UPSC aspirant.
“These cases taint the sanctity of the post and it is just so disheartening. I am working just as hard but I guess these people surely know how to work around the loopholes, and with money, they can misuse the certificates and no one cares and no action will be taken” Vinay added.
For Poonam Makhija, a former UPSC aspirant, “It’s surprising that for such an important exam like the UPSC, there isn’t a stringent verification process. I prepared for the UPSC exams before transitioning to the corporate sector, and I find this deeply unfair to all the genuine students who have put in so much effort. To maintain the trust of aspirants, the UPSC must implement better verification measures. Imagine the plight of a legitimate PwD candidate and others who have waited for years, only to be sidelined by forged documents.” UPSC Fake Certificate Row
