The good news: these candidates will have an additional opportunity to take the UPSC Civil Services Exam

Good news for UPSC Civil Services exam candidates. The central government has agreed to give the candidates an extra opportunity to take the civil services test, which was last attempted in October 2020. The Central Government on Friday submitted this information to the Supreme Court. The government has said this solution will only be offered once. The decision was made in the wake of the Kovid-19 pandemic. These candidates will be given an additional opportunity in the Civil Services Examination 2021. The government has previously said in the Supreme Court that it is not in favor of giving candidates a chance to lose their last chance to attend the civil services examination.

The Center has made it clear that the candidates who are over age will not be compensated.

A bench of justices AM Khanwilkar and Dinesh Maheshwari asked the Center to issue the note to attorneys who attended nearly 100 candidates seeking additional opportunity. The next hearing of the case is scheduled for Monday.

At the hearing on January 29, the judge appealed to Additional Solicitor General SV. He had asked Raju how many candidates would be benefited if this additional opportunity was granted only this time and how many such exemptions were made since the formation of the UPSC. Raju told the Supreme Court at the SV hearing on February 1 that if given additional opportunities, a total of 3308 candidates will benefit. More than 3300 candidates will be compensated once they rest without changing the maximum age limit, the court said.

His last confirmation was on October 4, 2020, with over 100 candidates attending the preliminary examination of the civil services. These candidates have applied to the Supreme Court for a one-time exemption from the 2021 civil services examination. The preparations for their preliminary examination on October 4, 2020, will be affected by the corona virus epidemic, the petition said. Some candidates have claimed that Kovid-19 has no duty to prepare because he has a duty. Some say the lack of internet access in remote areas makes it impossible to get online study material.
