If you can write English, you can speak it: UPSC
MUMBAI: If you can write in English, you are expected to talk in English, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) told an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) aspirant who had alleged bias over interviews being conducted in English. Chittaranjan Kumar, who appeared for the written part of the 2008 civil services examination in English, had moved the Bombay high Court, claimed he had become a 'victim' of the language policy.
Advocate Rui Roderigues, counsel for the UPSC, denied any bias and said that candidates who chose to answer the written examinations in Hindi or a local language, had the option of choosing the interview round in the same language or English. However, candidates who had opted to answer the written part of the examinations in English, could only choose that language for the interview/personality test round.
