Not sure why Gov would listen to the argument to award 3 extra attempt for introducing CSAT way back in 2011. I guess extra attempt is awarded for such and also what I remember is that CSAT change was given heads up during Aug/Sep 2010. Issue here shpuld be abruptly changing the marking format by making CSAT qualifing in nature AND PREPARING MERIT LIST OUT OF 20 MARKS ONLY. This though not a major change puts lots of aspirant in jeopardy as they did not get sufficient time to refine their strategy for prelims and lead to major set back. Prelims is all about first cross the line and thus cumulative marks out of 400 is reduced by 50% which actually alters the whole equation here. An extra attempt demand should be for such injustice with aspirants in 2015 instead of reinventing the issue with 2011 CSAT introduction.
I strongly have a feeling that age attempt relaxation for 2016 will be removed, as rightly put by @prasadsaatvik in another thread, which was immediately closed. Relaxation was put for 2 years i.e.2014.2015 hence cannot expect to be continued in 2016.
Sanjeev bhai.....with all due respect to your opinion....I have reasons to differ from you.A number of people have spoken about this issue to Mr T.Jacob Sir,DOPT.I too have spoken abour this issue to T.Jacob sir....4 months back and 4 days ago to under secretary,DOPT....he told me that the present age limit is 32 for gen and future changes are incumbent on Baswan Committee report.It is in public knowledge that the concerned committee has got 6 month extension and CSE 2016 notification is due on 23rd April,2016.Under these conditions it is not possible to have any changes atleast for 2016 unless Baswan committee submits its report prior to 23rd April,2016 and the recommendations are accepted by the government.Last year itself when there was news item about changes in age in the Hindu paper...a statement was issued by Hon Min DOPT and he categorically said that.."there is no proposal before the govt at present about age change"
@AhamBrahmasmi Thanks for your patient explanation for the otherwise. It helps to calm down nerves
Just to add to the information provided, the committee, after 6 months extention will submit report by 11th August 2016 ( given in pdf file on the committee details, UPSC website). So nothing adverse happening this year atleast, in my opinion.
@Amit Jain . jo log yahan protest kar rahe hai, unke age/attempt khatam ho gaye isliye unhe consequential relaxation chaiye. par jo first attempt wale hai wo kyun aayenge protest mein? injustice toh 2015 prelims mein hua hai jisme csat 3 months pehle hatakar first attempt wale candidates bahar ho gaye. unki baat koi nahi kar raha hai. sab apna self interest dekh rahe hai, jisko jo suit kar raha hai uske liye protest kar rahe hai. at least on my side, i will only participate in the protest if above issues raised by you are concerning me but they are not. you are saying of injustice, but you all wrere notified 10 months before csat 2011 and try not to shift blame on others. UPSC holds national level competitions and you will have to abide by their rules if you want to participate in this game. I am not saying that csat was catering to/ favourable to needs of all candidates but completely removing csat and making it qualifying was also not justified without any proper time frame. If you really want participation from my side/ first timers, then please forward these 2 demands:- 1. csat weightage(at least 20%) in prelims 2. extra attempt for 2015 candidates with age relaxation BTW i know that my first demand will not be considered since you all protested for complete removal of csat, but if there is some space left to accomodate these demands do let me know

Your first demand is out of preview my friend as CSAT has been made qualifying.As far as your second demand is concerned,we have that on our agenda and the same has been communicated to the govt for its consideration.
So,my friend,do not be on side line and do join the people on ground.Attempts,if granted,shall be given to all.Hitting the ground running will give us those attempts and nothing else.Pls come out with all the friends who are aggrieved like you.
