“Beware of false knowledge” said George Bernard Shaw. “It is more dangerous than ignorance”.
You seem to be not only ignorant, but also have false knowledge about the present condition of civil services.
If you are talking about compulsory retirement of 27 IRS officers under 56(J), please know that these officers were facing serious corruption charges and they were a liability on the government and the people of India. Their numbers are quite insignificant as compared to total number of people who must be sacked for their non-performance.
Government is still tolerating a large number of incompetent and corrupt officers even today.
Lateral entries are for secretariat jobs like Joint Secretaries, Director, for which most civil servants don’t even apply as these posts are only for policy making with hardly any real power like DM, SP or Commissioner.
360 degree performance review is a sham and more than 95% civil servants are getting promoted even today without doing anything worthwhile based on seniority and performance report(which is rarely below the benchmark).
As far as pressure is concerned, it is still least lowest in civil services, unless you choose the high pressure jobs yourself and use these jobs for illegal personal benefits.
It is better not to consider the exceptions as the rule and get paranoid about them.
Learn to know the truth because only truth can make you free.
