Nearly 37,000 appeared for UPSC CSAT (Union Public Service Commission Civil Services Aptitude Test) at over 40 centres across the city.

While the candidates found the paper to be easy, they complained that it was lengthy and time consuming.

Anita, another candidate from Yamunanagar, Haryana, termed the paper to be easy while Ankit from Jind in Haryana, too, found it to be simple yet time consuming.

“The exam was not tough but the paper II was time consuming,” said Mehak, a candidate from Ambala city, Haryana.
