The Civil Services (Preliminary) examination, which was scheduled to be held on June 27, has been postponed to October 10.
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) said in a statement: “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 June 27, 2021.
