    MPSC changes pattern: Aligned with UPSC, to be implemented from 2023

    Maharashtra PSC has recently released a notification citing changes in the pattern. Now the main examination will be subjective/descriptive in nature (essay type answers) instead of objective (MCQ type) questions. Also, an Ethics paper has also been introduced, modern history will also be included.

    From earlier 6 papers in MPSC Mains now we will have 9 papers, with total marks now standing at 1750 in Mains, closely resembling UPSC’s pattern.

    Closely resembling the UPSC pattern

    Implications of this change

    It has certainly made MPSC mains more comprehensive, requiring a wide-based knowledge just like UPSC.

    • It will be easier for UPSC aspirants to prepare for MPSC and vice-versa.
    • It improves the percentage of Marathi candidates appearing and clearing UPSC as the paper pattern is almost the same.
    • It will give equal opportunity to those from rural as well as urban areas. Now every candidate must play on a level playing field.
    • For those UPSC aspirants who have exhausted their attempts, they would find it easier to appear and crack MPSC.
    • Aspirants who will reappear in 2023 will have to consider it as a fresh attempt as they have to study almost from scratch.

    All these pose an opportunity as well as a challenge for aspirants but for sure it calls for a change in strategy.


    CivilsDaily’s performance in UPSC 2021 and an overwhelming number of our Rankers from Maharashtra

    UPSC 2021 results were released a few days back and it was a major validation of CivilsDaily’s student-centric approach, personalized mentorship, and commitment to your goal – cracking the UPSC IAS exam.

    ..amazing observation was the overwhelming number of rankers from Maharashtra.

    This was evident from 200+ rankers, including 30+ in the top 50 in the UPSC 2021 exam. Another amazing observation was the overwhelming number of rankers from Maharashtra. 

    Moreover, we have thousands of CivilsDaily students from the state.

    On the insistence of CivilsDaily’s alumni (ex-rankers) and our students from the state, opened our first center in Maharashtra, in Pune.


    How is the Pune center going to help UPSC and Civil Services Aspirants from Maharashtra?

    Saves you from the trauma of relocation

    Aspirants have to leave their home state to Delhi, Karol Bagh for UPSC prep. It seriously dismantles their mental peace and continuity in preparation.

    Now you no longer have to leave your state and come to Delhi for UPSC preparation.

    Financially

    Financially, by saving huge expenditure incurred in Karol Bagh on renting and tuition fees.

    Now prepare for both: UPSC and MPSC

    Recently the notification for MPSC was released and since the pattern is similar to UPSC now, we will be helping you prepare for MPSC as well.

    Live lectures, Offline 1:1 Mentorship, Testing centre in Pune

    We will be providing the best classroom lectures; UPSC-relevant tests and study material; experienced mentors and dedicated faculty. 

    CivilsDaily will always remain committed to a personalized and student-centric approach and will live for its vision of making UPSC and government service exam preparation simpler, effective, result-oriented, and affordable to every aspiring student.

  • [Sansad TV] Mudda AapKa: Supreme Court Suggests “Bail Act”

    UPSC 2023 countdown has begun! Get your personal guidance plan now! (Click here)

    Context

    • Lamenting that jails across the country were flooded with undertrial prisoners, the apex court urged the Centre to introduce reforms in the bail laws.
    • It stated that bail applications should be disposed of within two weeks while those for anticipatory bail be decided within six weeks

    What is Bail?

    • Bail is the conditional release of a defendant with the promise to appear in court when required.
    • The term also means the security that is deposited in order to secure the release of the accused.
    • In India’s legal world, the term offense has been categorized as bailable offenses and non-bailable under the Code of Criminal Procedure.

    Why need Bail?

    • Bail is a fundamental aspect of any criminal justice system.
    • The practice of bail grew out of the need to safeguard the fundamental right to liberty.
    • Liberty is the right of one whose guilt has not yet been proven.

    Types of Bail in India

    • Depending upon the sage of the criminal matter, there are commonly three types of bail in India:
    1. Regular bail: Regular bail is generally granted to a person who has been arrested or is in police custody. A bail application can be filed for regular bail under sections 437 and 439 of CrPC.
    2. Interim bail: This type of bail is granted for a short period of time and it is granted before the hearing for the grant of regular bail or anticipatory bail.
    3. Anticipatory bail: Anticipatory bail is granted under section 438 of CrPC either by session court or High Court. An application for the grant of anticipatory bail can be filed by the person who discerns that he may be arrested by the police for a non-bailable offense.

    Conditions for Grant of Bail in Bailable Offences

    • Section 436 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, lays down that a person accused of a bailable offense under IPC can be granted bail if:
    1. There are sufficient reasons to believe that the accused has not committed the offence.
    2. There is sufficient reason to conduct a further inquiry in the matter.
    3. The person is not accused of any offence punishable with death, life imprisonment or imprisonment up to 10 years.

    Conditions for Grant of Bail in Non-Bailable Offences

    • Section 437 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 lays down that the accused does not have the right to apply for bail in non-bailable offences.
    • It is discretion of the court to grant bail in case of non-bailable offences if:
    1. The accused is a woman or a child, bail can be granted in a non-bailable offence.
    2. There is a lack of evidence then bail in non-Bailable offenses can be granted.
    3. There is a delay in lodging FIR by the complainant, bail may be granted.
    4. The accused is gravely sick.

    What is the recent ruling about?

    • The Supreme Court underlined that arrest is a draconian measure that needs to be used sparingly.
    • The ruling is essentially a reiteration of several crucial principles of criminal procedure.

    Why bail needs reform?

    • Huge pendency of undertrials: Referring to the state of jails in the country, where over two-thirds lodged are undertrials,
    • Indiscriminate arrests: Of this category of prisoners, majority may not even be required to be arrested despite registration of a cognizable offense, being charged with offenses punishable for seven years or less.
    • Disadvantageous for some sections: They are not only poor and illiterate but also would include women. Thus, there is a culture of offense being inherited by many of them.
    • Colonial legacy: Theoretically, the court also linked the idea of indiscriminate arrests to magistrates ignoring the rule of “bail, not jail” to a colonial mindset.

    Is there any bail law on bail?

    • The CrPC does not define the word bail but only categories offenses under the Indian Penal Code as ‘bailable’ and ‘non-bailable’.
    • The CrPC empowers magistrates to grant bail for bailable offenses as a matter of right.
    • This would involve release on furnishing a bail bond, without or without security.

    And what is UK law?

    • The Bail Act of the United Kingdom, 1976, prescribes the procedure for granting bail.
    • A key feature is that one of the aims of the legislation is “reducing the size of the inmate population”.
    • The law also has provisions for ensuring legal aid for defendants.
    • The Act recognises a “general right” to be granted bail.

    What has the Supreme Court held on reforms?

    The court’s ruling is in the form of guidelines, and it also draws the line on certain procedural issues for the police and judiciary:

    • Separate law on Bail: The court underlined that the CrPC, despite amendments since Independence, largely retains its original structure as drafted by a colonial power over its subjects.
    • Uniform exercise of discretionary powers: It also highlighted that magistrates do not necessarily
    • Avoid indiscriminate arrests: The SC also directed all state governments and Union Territories to facilitate standing orders to comply with the orders and avoid indiscriminate arrests.

    Way forward

    • Bail Law would certainly take care of not only the unwarranted arrests but also the clogging of bail applications before various courts.
    • With restrictive bail conditions and a conservative view on bail, we may forget the meaning of personal liberty, which is the greatest of human freedoms enjoyed in India.

    MPSC changes pattern: Aligned with UPSC, to be implemented from 2023

    Maharashtra PSC has recently released a notification citing changes in the pattern. Now the main examination will be subjective/descriptive in nature (essay type answers) instead of objective (MCQ type) questions. Also, an Ethics paper has also been introduced, modern history will also be included.

    From earlier 6 papers in MPSC Mains now we will have 9 papers, with total marks now standing at 1750 in Mains, closely resembling UPSC’s pattern.

    Implications of this change

    It has certainly made MPSC mains more comprehensive, requiring a wide-based knowledge just like UPSC.

    • It will be easier for UPSC aspirants to prepare for MPSC and vice-versa.
    • It improve the percentage of Marathi candidates appearing and clearing UPSC as the paper pattern is almost the same.
    • It will give equal opportunity to those from rural as well as urban areas. Now every candidate must play on a level playing field.
    • For those UPSC aspirants who have exhausted their attempts, they would find it easier to appear and crack MPSC.
    • Aspirants who will reappear in 2023 will have to consider it as a fresh attempt as they have to study almost from scratch.

    All these pose an opportunity as well as a challenge for aspirants but for sure it calls for a change in strategy.


    CivilsDaily’s performance in UPSC 2021 and an overwhelming number of our Rankers from Maharashtra

    UPSC 2021 results were released a few days back and it was a major validation of CivilsDaily’s student-centric approach, personalized mentorship, and commitment to your goal – cracking the UPSC IAS exam.

    On the insistence of CivilsDaily’s alumni (ex-rankers) and our students from the state, opened our first center in Maharashtra, in Pune.


    How is the Pune center going to help UPSC and Civil Services Aspirants from Maharashtra?

    3. Mentorship: Our Every student is a batch.

    An average aspirant, pays for Prelims Course, Mains Program, Interview Guidance, Test Series & Study Materials all separately. The fees then comes up to 2-3 Lakhs for one attempt alone.

    Identifying this issue, Civilsdaily has designed the Flagship mentorship cum Foundation Course for 2023 aspirants. This course covers the entire 3-stage journey of a UPSC aspirant. From Prelims to Interview –

    • 1:1 Mentorship: Dedicated mentor to each student
    • Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly Study Plans
    • Weekly Test Series
    • Classes & Study Materials will be provided.

    Another benefit of the program is that it’s an umbrella course wherein an aspirant can access other paid courses of Civilsdaily for FREE.

    The main objective of the program is to identify and nurture serious aspirants to become future UPSC toppers. And that’s why we have designed a scholarship test.

    Our foundation course will be intensive yet personalised. You will be getting individual coaching on how to conquer the basics, develop analytical skills, inculcate conceptual clarity and acquire the necessary knowledge to face the unpredictable and dynamic UPSC.

    Apart from conducting subject-wise classes that covers all the Prelims-Mains syllabus from scratch, aspirants will follow a customised timetable and will complete their revision on a daily basis to attempt our weekly prelims and mains tests. Once the test is over, they will get a strategy call from a mentor, who will clear their doubts and tell them how to improve their performance from next test onwards.

    Simply put, like Ekalavya you will be getting a unique coaching experience that eludes other UPSC aspirants. Even aspects like Essay, Ethics and CSAT which is ignored in other normal coaching programs, will be covered over here with tests, mentorship, classes and notes.
