Examination ethics are fundamental to maintaining the integrity of the UPSC process. Adherence to ethical guidelines ensures a level playing field for all candidates and upholds the credibility of the examination. Cheating or unethical practices, such as plagiarism, distort the essence of meritocracy and can lead to disqualification. Moreover, ethical behavior reflects the values expected from future public servants, reinforcing the importance of integrity in governance. By promoting a culture of honesty and fairness, the integrity of the UPSC examination process can be preserved, ultimately benefiting society at large.
