Sanjeev Sanyal, a member of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (EAC-PM), sparked a national debate today by stating that the UPSC examination system is “no longer relevant” in an AI-driven world. Speaking at a forum, Sanyal argued that traditional university models and the grueling civil service selection process are “outdated,” calling instead for a shift toward skills-based training and apprenticeships. His comments have drawn mixed reactions from educators and aspirants, highlighting the growing tension between legacy governance systems and the rapidly evolving technological landscape.
