UPSC assesses candidates' decision-making abilities during the interview through scenario-based questions and situational analyses. Interviewers present candidates with real-life situations requiring quick yet effective solutions. This evaluation reflects the aspirant's ability to think under pressure, weigh options, and consider ethical implications. Candidates must demonstrate critical thinking, judgment, and the capacity to arrive at well-reasoned conclusions. Such skills are vital for a career in civil services, where informed and prompt decision-making is essential.
