Bowing to pressure from protesting civil service aspirants, the government Monday said the marks in English language comprehension skills of the UPSC aptitude test will not be included in the merit list. But students said their demands still remain "unfulfilled".

Minister of State in Prime Minister's Office Jitendra Singh said in parliament: "Government is of the opinion that in the civil services preliminary examination, paper II, the marks of the question section on 'English language comprehension skills' should not be included in gradation or merit."

The minister also announced that candidates who appeared in Civil Services Examination 2011 may be allowed one more attempt in 2015.

However, protesting civil service aspirants were not satisfied with the government's statement. They said they wanted the Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) to be done away with altogether.
"The government has studied the matter very deeply and tried to handle it sensitively," Jitendra Singh told both houses of parliament.
