Public perception shapes the UPSC examination process by influencing both its design and execution. A highly regarded examination builds trust in the selection process, which is crucial for maintaining the meritocratic ethos of civil services in India. Negative perceptions about transparency or fairness may impact the examination's credibility. Public scrutiny can also lead to reformations in examination practices, ensuring they address socio-economic disparities. Moreover, well-informed public opinions could drive initiatives to enhance the value of civil service roles, promoting a culture of respect and aspiration among future aspirants.
