The UPSC, including students who failed to attend the last attempt due to the Kovid-19 epidemic last year, is against the age limit of one-time exemption for civil service applicants, the Supreme Court said on Tuesday. The Center said that giving another student this year would discriminate against other candidates. The Center has described the bench headed by Justice AM Khanwilkar. The bench reserved its decision while listening to the application. Students who failed to attend the exam in their last attempt in 2020 due to an epidemic are being asked to apply for another.
Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, who attended the center, initially said that the government was not in favor of additional provision and did so on the advice of the judiciary.
“This is not a test that you can prepare at the last moment,” Raju told the bench. People prepare it for years. ”

The Center has told the Supreme Court on February 5 that UPSC has agreed to give civil service candidates an additional opportunity as a one-time solution, noting that their last attempt at the 2020 examination between the Kovid-19 epidemic and their age group has not been completed.
In its filing with the Supreme Court on February 5, the Center said that candidates who had not completed their last attempt during CSE-2021 or who exceeded the prescribed age limit in various categories would not be compensated. In addition, candidates who do not qualify for the examination due to other reasons will not be eligible for CSE-2021.
The Center told the bench that the solution would only apply to CSE-2021 as a one-time opportunity and would not be seen as an example. The Center said that this right of any corporation would not be presented on the basis of this remedy.
The court asked Raju to issue the record and asked the petitioners to submit their answer.
The Center has told the court on February 1 that candidates who are unable to attend UPSC examination 2020 or not properly prepared due to Kovid-19 cannot be given additional opportunity. The government has said that discrimination against others is to provide additional opportunities for candidates who missed the last opportunity in 2020.
Discounts were issued in 1979, 1992 and 2015
During the hearing, the Center gave detailed information to the court about exemptions granted by the Central Public Service Commission (UPSC) since the civil services examination began at the center, and in 1979 that it was due to changes in the examination pattern, the 1992 and 2015 candidates were exempted.
On September 30 last year, the Supreme Court refused to accept a preliminary examination of the UPSC civil service, requesting that it be postponed due to flooding and the Kovid-19 epidemic in several parts of the country.
