National Students' Union of India members are holding a protest outside Home Minister Rajnath Singh's residence over the Union Public Service Commission CSAT examination row. They are demanding the release of students who were detained while staging a protest.

In a setback to the protesting aspirants, the Arvind Verma committee report submitted to the government has recommended that no change should be made in the civil service aptitude test as it is a scientifically formed exam and shouldn't be tinkered with, CNN-IBN reports. 

According to sources, the committee has recommended that the quality of English to Hindi translations in CSAT paper should be improved. There are 20 marks of English comprehension which are of class 10th level and sources said that future civil servants are expected to have that level of knowledge.
