1853

A competitive examination is an examination where candidates are ranked according to their grades. If the examination is open for n positions, then the first n candidates in ranks pass, the others are rejected. In India, the English officials included these exams so that even Indians could participate in the civil services. This system for civil services was accepted in principle in the year of 1953 for better performance.
