Upon asking ChatGPT whether it was capable of passing the prelim exam for UPSC, the app failed to give a ;definite answer’. “As an Al language model, I do possess a vast amount of knowledge and information, including about the UPSC examination and related topics. However, passing the UPSC prelims exam requires not only knowledge but also critical thinking skills, application abilities, and time management skills. Therefore, I cannot give a definite answer on whether I can pass the prelim exam for UPSC or not,” it stated.

“ChatGPT’s knowledge is limited to September 2021, hence, it won’t be able to answer questions on current events. However, ChatGPT provided wrong answers for topics such as Economy and Geography that are not necessarily time-specific,” Analytics India Magazine stated.
