Centre tells Supreme Court

The government has agreed to give an additional chance to the UPSC Civil Services Examination candidates who gave their last attempt in October 2020. The decision is taken in the wake of Covid-19 pandemic.

The Apex Court in September 2020 had directed the Central Government and the Union Public Services Commission to consider granting an extra chance to candidates who otherwise had their last attempt in 2020 and also to consider extending the upper age limit.
