UPSC allows candidates to submit revised choice of exam centre for Prelims 2020, Main Exam
The Union Public Service Commission has allowed candidates to submit their requests for change of exam center. Candidates preparing for the UPSC Prelims 2020 and Main exams should note that the Commission has decided to give an opportunity to submit your revised choice of Centre, in the wake of coronavirus pandemic. Besides above, the option to change the exam centers for the Civil Services (Main) Examination, 2020 and the Indian Forest Service (Main) Examination, 2020 is also being made available to the candidates.
The requests of the candidates for change in their exam centers will be considered against the additional/enhanced capacity intimated by the Centers for accommodating the additional candidates.
In an earlier notification, it was confirmed that the Union Public Service Commission will be conducting the UPSC (Preliminary) Examination, 2020 [including the Indian Forest Service (Preliminary) Examination, 2020] on October 4, 2020.
