UPSC conducted the Essay Paper , as part of the Civil Services Main Exam 2021 on 07-01-2022.
There were 8 Essay topics, out of which candidates were asked to write on two topics in 3 hours.
Candidates were supposed to answer about 1000 words for each essay (about 10-12 pages).
Table of Contents
Write two essays, choosing one topic from each of the following Sections A and B, in about 1000-1200 words each:
1. The process of self-discovery has now been technologically outsourced.
2. Your perception of me is a reflection of you; my reaction to you is an awareness of me.

3. Philosophy of wantlessness is Utopian, while materialism is a chimera.
4. The real is rational and the rational is real.
5. Hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.
6. What is research, but a blind date with knowledge!
7. History repeats itself, first as a tragedy, second as a farce.
8. There are better practices to “best practices”.
Most of the essays topics this year were philosophical and open to the interpretation of the candidates. However, considering the philosophical base of the questions, most candidates found the questions tricky. It was not easy to write 1000 words on each topic within the time constraints.
UPSC has ensured that the essay topics were much different from the GS questions.
A philosophical theme is clearly evident in most of the essay topics in Section A as well as Section B. This was the case in 2020 as well. However, this year it became much more prominent. It is a clue about what UPSC expects from the essay paper.
Rather than asking candidates to write on topics most aspirants are familiar or trained with, UPSC is now evaluating the essay writing skills of aspirants by providing them with abstract or philosophical topics.
The reason for such a shift in the pattern should be the change in the focus of the Commission.
All the 8 topics presented this year will test spontaneous thinking, comprehension, writing skills, and time-management of aspirants.
The importance of the previous year UPSC questions cannot be stressed more.
Just like prelims, in mains too many questions came directly repeated from previous year question papers. Also, there were themes you often see in many essay books.
One such question was Hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.
Let’s analyse the source of some of the question topics.
This essay topic was a quote going rounds on the internet. The quote is attributed to “Coach Bobbi” [Bobbi Chegwyn] on Facebook.
This essay topic was connected with J.K. Mehta’s Theory of Wantlessness!
This has also connections with Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy.
This is a quote by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel .
As per Hegel, something can be real, yet it may not exist. Also, something may not be real, it may still exist. For Hegel, reality does not mean existence.
Among philosophers, Hegel is one whose thought is extremely difficult to understand. Often to understand Hegel’s thoughts, we need to grasp his ideas, not in isolation but together with his dialogue with other philosophers, in particular, Aristotle and Kant.
“The Hand That Rocks the Cradle Is the Hand That Rules the World” is a poem by William Ross Wallace that praises motherhood as the preeminent force for change in the world. The poem was first published in 1865 under the title “ What Rules the World “.
This is a quote by Will Harvey . Will Harvey (born 1967) is an American software developer and Silicon Valley entrepreneur.
It was Karl Marx who said that history repeats itself, first as tragedy, then as farce.
First, it’s a tragedy because it shouldn’t have happened. Then it’s a farce (joke) because we didn’t learn from our mistakes the first time around. This is Marx’s version of dark humour.
First of all, you should take the essay paper seriously.
Unless properly trained, it is not easy to write 10-12 pages on an abstract or philosophical topic.
You need to polish your comprehension and analytical skills.
Read different kinds of essays – particularly philosophical essays.
Give stress to the thoughts of philosophers like Immanuel Kant, Thomas Aquinas, John Locke, Friedrich Niche, Karl Marx etc. Start writing essays on famous quotes.
Also, be prepared to write essays touching other areas like society, polity, economy, or technology. UPSC is known for surprises.
Remember that there is nothing like a constant trend with respect to UPSC questions.
What you get by analysing the previous year question papers are clues. And only those are what you need from UPSC questions!

in the bureaucracy – there is no space for logical thinking.
once you clear the exams and get appointed – you have to follow the “protocol’ or “procedures” – its difficult to be analytical and innovative – bcos the system demands obedience and adherence to the protocol. If you follow the protocol – and even if lot of people are severely affected – you wont be taken to task. But if you are innovative – and even if ONE person gets affected – you will be punished.

Upsc cse main analysis 2020: the candidates reviewed the essay paper as the toughest with most of the questions being philosophical or abstract in nature..
UPSC CSE main analysis 2020: The civil services main examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) started Friday. On the first day of the examination, candidates termed the essay paper as the “toughest” with questions that were mostly “philosophical” or “abstract” in nature. The essay paper consists of two sections, and candidates have to attempt one out of four topics given in each section. Each essay carries 125 marks.
Anurag Sibbal, an UPSC aspirant, fund the essay paper “quite tough” and said the topics in both Part A and B had a “philosophical” approach. “Most of the essays in Part A required ethical thinking, some of the topics asked included ‘life is long journey’, ‘simplicity is the ultimate sophistication’. Part B topics were abstract in nature. The topics were on patriarchy, social justice.” Anurag is expecting to secure 100 to 120 marks.
Another UPSC aspirant, Kamalesh Arora, said the paper was “quite different from that of previous years”. According to him: “Last year, the essays of Section A were tough, while Section B was based on current topics such as ‘biased media’, ‘rise of artificial intelligence’ among others. I am expecting less than 100 in the paper.”

Experts, too, said the essay paper was one of the toughest in recent years. Rohit Singh, manager, UPSC Gradeup, said, “An ethical perspective can be seen in most of the essay topics. It could be expected that the scoring of the essay paper this year could be on the lower side as seen in the past when philosophical topics were asked. 120 + marks in the essay paper can be considered as good score.”
ESSAY TOPICS
– Life is long journey between being human and being humane
– Mindful manifesto is catalyst to tranquil self
– Ships do not sink because of water around them, ships sink because of water that gets into them
READ | UPSC CSE Main 2020: Must read books for public administration
– Simplicity is ultimate sophistication.
– Culture is what we are, civilisation is what we have
– There can be no social justice without economic prosperity but economic prosperity without social justice is meaningless.
– Patriarchy is the least noted but most significant structure of social inequality
– Technology as a silent factor in international relations.

The UPSC expert said that all the four topics in Section A were philosophical in nature and also involved an element of ethical thinking. “These kinds of topics are particularly challenging given the paucity of content with candidates. It requires the candidates to have the originality of thought and have the ability of critical and analytical thinking. Factual knowledge is less relevant for these kinds of topics,” he analysed.
“Topics for essays 5,6 and 7 were more focused on society and related issues. Topic 5 was a bit abstract in nature. These topics require a deeper knowledge of abstract concepts and ideas,” the UPSC expert said.” Only the last topic in section B was easier as it combined international relations with science and technology.”.
