The implications of the reservation policy on UPSC Civil Services are significant, as it aims to improve representation from underprivileged and marginalized communities in governance. This policy extends to various categories, ensuring equal opportunities in the civil services for candidates from Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs). While it promotes inclusivity and diversity, it also raises discussions on meritocracy and the dynamics of competition, necessitating a balanced approach to ensure fairness while addressing social equity in civil services.
