The Union Public Service Commission has rescheduled the Civil Services preliminary exam that was to be held on June 27 due to the COVID-19 situation in the country. The prelims will now be conducted on October 10.
"Due to the prevailing conditions caused by the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), the Union Public Service Commission has deferred the Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination, 2021, which was scheduled to be held on 27th June, 2021.
