Paradigm ias academy : Prepare Ethics for IAS

Since the introduction of Ethics Paper in IAS Mains General Studies as GS Paper 4, Civil Services aspirants are in a dilemma. As ethics is not a subject taught in schools/ colleges, it is quite natural from the candidate’s point of view to ponder about the questions to be asked from the ethics. But there is no need to be fear and if properly handled, this could be a scoring subject.

Ethics as a part of IAS Mains has much wider dimensions. Ethics has its roots in Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology and Public Administration. If you will see the UPSC syllabus then it has been mentioned that this paper will include questions to test the candidate’s attitude and approach to issues relating to integrity, probity in public life and his problem solving approach to various issues and conflicts faced by him in dealing with society. Questions utilize the case study approach to determine these aspects.
