Why in government jobs mostly preferred only b.tech guys than other graduates? As I know, b.tech is engineering course ,it had its own career prospects in their discipline fields.But, why in govt jobs also b.tech? Ex: For civil services B.A graduate, should give 1st priority,but b.tech why?

Hello,

The eligibility criteria for majority of government exams such as UPSC, SSC, state PSCs or even if we consider banking or insurance need candidates to pass graduation in any discipline from a recognized University, engineering graduates also has their own exams, and several PSUs too does the recruitment in this matter.

Now coming to your question, since you specifically asked about UPSC, I'll answer in this context only, see the success of a candidate in any government exam is more dependent on how well he or she prepares for the exam, if we see UPSC as an option yes there are engineering graduates who have been toppers but then there are also toppers from prestigious institutions who haven't been even able to qualify prelims, UPSC as an exam is totally different from college studies, and it has candidates qualifying from diverse backgrounds such as medical, commerce, even humanities students as well, we also have toppers who have graduated in humanities subject and qualified the exam, so it's not only engineering graduates, yes they may be present in good number, but then remember that UPSC exam is of three stages, in prelims for paper I you're only required to pass the cut-offs, second paper is qualifying by nature, and these numbers aren't added in the final results, and when your Mains papers are checked they are only evaluated on the basis of how well you have answered, those checking the paper aren't even aware of the educational backgrounds of students, and coming to interview part ,only after qualifying the Mains a candidate reaches to this stage, this is a personality test round, the board members are more interested in exploring the various aspects of the candidates  which goes beyond the academic profile, they are looking for an able administrator who apart from possessing a certain specific qualification also possess the qualities of leader, presence of mind, good judgement skillz, managerial skills etc, remember that in order to qualify UPSC, single minded, focus, determination and perseverance remain the same for every aspirant, this is the very reason UPSC doesn't discriminate among aspirants and hence all are allowed to appear for the exam, qualifying any particular exams depends on various factors such as mindset of the candidates, how well they are able to keep themselves motivated and focused, dealing with setbacks, self-discipline matters a lot here, hence it's lot more about personal attributes.
