Vikas Divyakirti Explains Bihar's Declining UPSC Success

• Bihar, once a top performer in UPSC, now sees a decline in IAS-IPS selections.
• Drishti IAS founder Vikas Divyakirti attributes this to evolving trends across India.
• Historically, social changes in Kerala and Tamil Nadu led to a surge in civil service aspirants.
• Similar social shifts later boosted civil service interest in Bihar.
• Now, states like Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and Haryana also show significant UPSC interest, increasing competition.

Why It Matters: Bihar's UPSC decline is due to increased competition from other states, not necessarily reduced interest.
