The interview / personality test system followed by UPSC is free from any   discrimination or bias.

UPSC has informed that candidates are randomized while being assigned to Interview Boards just before the commencement of interviews / personality tests for the day. Further, category of the candidates and marks obtained by them in the written examination are not disclosed to the Interview Board. Also, the identity of members of the Interview Board is not disclosed to the candidates. Thus, the question of discrimination or bias in interview against any category of candidates does not arise.

Moreover, in the interest of full transparency, the marks (written marks, interview / personality test marks, total marks) of all recommended candidates are published on the official website of UPSC.
