The poor wording of DoPT walas itself justifies the need for RC in UPSC.
Will remain qualifying can be interpreted in two ways:
1) It will remain, (as a qualifying paper) until the committee gives recommendations.
2) It will remain a qualifying paper (for mains, as GS-I - as in marks won't be counted for determining your final rank) - but the minimum qualifying marks are 33% or 66/200.
Both interpretations are not accurate, because the language is ambiguous. I tried to look for a Hindi release but couldn't find it either.
I am leaning towards interpretation 2 for the following reasons: 1) To me, the major point of that article is the setting up of committee 2) There is no need to remove English comprehension questions if the whole point was to get only 33% 3) Usage of the word 'will remain' and 'a qualifying' 4) Just a 200 marks gs paper will lead to a qatl-e-aam situation.
But, it could also be a too late situation. Bringing back CSAT could trigger massive protests, so government might have to go through with CSAT removal.
But personally I wouldn't mind seeing CSAT go. I genuinely believe that aptitude is essential to function in this exam and beyond. If you share my belief, you will also believe that those with low aptitude will find it harder to draw interpretations and analysis from newspapers etc. Further, due to their low reading comprehension speed - they will suffer in mains too. Further, ones with low aptitude will also perform slightly worse in interviews. So the overall competition in mains and interview will go down.
Now bachon get back to reading which highway passes through where and which state has which dishes.

Any Govt would have done the same to win Bihar elections. There is no pro-CSAT lobby. Most CSAT wallas don't even vote - I think.
this video clip ( statement of jitendra singh ) makes every thing clear. now csat is done and dusted for sure
@docrock : bhai main to procsat hoon..par sachhai SE mooh nahi mod Sakta na...
