Decision Making — Core Techniques

Entry	Year	Description	Impact
N/A	N/A	The topic 'Decision Making' in CSAT is an aptitude skill and not a constitutional or legal subject. Therefore, it is not subject to constitutional amendments. The structure and format of decision-making questions in CSAT are determined by UPSC's evolving examination pattern and syllabus interpretation, rather than legislative changes.	No direct impact. However, changes in the CSAT syllabus or question patterns (e.g., removal of the 'no negative marking' clause for decision-making questions post-2014) reflect an 'amendment' in the examination's approach to testing this skill, making it more integrated and subject to standard negative marking rules.
