Why few people shouting and cry and creating controversy UPSC Civil Service Aptitude Test ?

Art students and IAS but how?
I am not against any stream but people are crying beacuse they are unable to crack exam due to their lack of hard work and study is wrong.  Most of the engineering students below to Science stream and we know they had hard work in their studies. 
Let see what is the real problem?
The controversy over Union Public Service Commission Civil Service Preliminary Examination, which is the first step towards joining the top echelons of bureaucracy, has taken an ugly turn with the issue being diverted to the linguistic fight. The structure of the CSAT (Civil Service Aptitude Test) is the main bone of contention, which aspirants feel is biased towards technical and management students and it should be scrapped.
owever this contention is totally wrong. 
The structure of the exam was changed in 2011 and since then the aspirants from Humanities and Hindi belt are protesting against it. The change has adversely affected the number of aspirants cracking the exam from Humanities stream and Hindi belt as the numbers have gone down drastically.
The prelims examination is divided into two sections - General Studies and CSAT and both the papers are of 200 marks. The General Studies consists of 100 questions and the CSAT of 80 questions. But the marks required to qualify General Studies is 30 whereas for CSAT it is 70.

The CSAT comprises of questions based on communication skill, logical reasoning and analytical ability, decision making and problem solving, general mental ability, basic numeracy, data interpretation and English comprehension.

Candidates with poor command over general studies are qualifying because of their good command over aptitude. (Since even the best candidates in general studies, cannot score beyond a point in GS paper- given its toughness). Thus, graduates from non-science/non-engineering background are hurt in the competition.
But in my opinion student from non-science back ground specially art student enjoy their student life in other activities and never pay attention towards studies this is the real fact which every one know.
Comments below your opinion on the issue
