043 MCQ Test No. 9322a in General Studies

There is a proverb in Telugu language: "kODi guDDu mIda Ikalu pIkaTam". English: Plucking feathers on a poultry egg. Purport: Poultry eggs do not have feathers or hair. Egg shells are smooth, and plucking hair/feathers from them will be futile. This adage we can also apply to Civil Services Preliminary Examinations conducted by Government of India. Millions of candidates apply for the Examinations. They have to be filtered into a few thousands, by eliminating millions, so that the thousands go to the next ladder of Civils Mains. As Prelims are conducted using MCQ Tests, with the goal of Eliminating millions being the first priority, some kODi guDDu Ikalu are plucked.
