Prime Minister's Economic Advisor Sanjeev Sanyal stated that pursuing UPSC exams for job stability is a 'waste of time' due to rapid technological advancements and AI. Speaking on an ANI podcast, Sanyal argued that traditional curricula and exam-centric education are becoming less relevant as skills evolve faster than university courses. He suggested a shift towards apprenticeships and on-the-job learning, emphasizing that AI can deliver cutting-edge knowledge more efficiently than static university models, though he clarified this doesn't diminish universities' overall importance.
