What is the reason for conducting UPPSC exam 2024 in multiple shifts?
The decision to conduct these preliminary exams over multiple days and shifts is due to the lack of examination centers that meet government standards, despite extensive efforts to find suitable locations. The Commission highlighted that these exams are screening tests and will not influence final merit rankings. Notably, for the first time, the exams will be held within the same month, with less than a 20-day gap between them. There is a tremendous turnout, with over 1.65 million candidates registered to participate.
