&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Despite attempts by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) to increase the educational diversity of candidates selected through the civil service exam, the number of engineers becoming civil servants has remained disproportionately high &amp;mdash; nearly 60 per cent in the last two years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Data accessed by ThePrint shows that of the 428 civil servants of the 2020 batch who have gone to the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) in Mussoorie for training, 245, or 57.25 per cent, are engineers. Eight others have engineering-plus-management backgrounds. There are only 84 civil servants in the batch from an arts background, accounting for 19.6 per cent of the intake.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In the 2019 batch, of the 325 total civil service trainees who went to LBSNAA, 191 or 58.7 per cent were engineers. Another 10 had engineering-plus-management backgrounds. There were 52 qualified candidates with an arts background &amp;mdash; 16 per cent of the total strength.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Even the year before that, the number of officer trainees at LBSNAA with engineering or B.Tech. backgrounds were 73 and 138, respectively, together constituting 57.4 per cent of the total intake of 367 officers.&lt;/p&gt;

Engineers still account for 60% of new civil servants, despite UPSC’s attempts at diversity -Sanya Dhingra

-ThePrint.in UPSC uses a secret formula to ‘normalise’ scores in optional subjects, as there’s a gap between humanities marks and that in a technical subject like maths. New Delhi: Despite attempts by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) to increase the educational diversity of candidates selected through the civil service exam, the number of engineers becoming civil servants has remained disproportionately high — nearly 60 per cent in the last two years. Data accessed by ThePrint shows that of the 428 civil servants of the 2020 batch who have gone to the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) in Mussoorie for training, 245, or 57.25 per cent, are engineers. Eight others have engineering-plus-management backgrounds. There are only 84 civil servants in the batch from an arts background, accounting for 19.6 per cent of the intake. In the 2019 batch, of the 325 total civil service trainees who went to LBSNAA, 191 or 58.7 per cent were engineers. Another 10 had engineering-plus-management backgrounds. There were 52 qualified candidates with an arts background — 16 per cent of the total strength. Even the year before that, the number of officer trainees at LBSNAA with engineering or B.Tech. backgrounds were 73 and 138, respectively, together constituting 57.4 per cent of the total intake of 367 officers.
