The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has released an important notification for the candidates regarding revised exam centre choice filling for the Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination, 2022.
The UPSC will be conducting the Civil Services Preliminary Examination including the Indian Forest Service (Preliminary) Examination, 2022 on June 5, 2022 (Sunday) all over India.
The Commission has decided to set up two additional centres at Dharamshala and Mandi in Himachal Pradesh for the preliminary examination.
“The Commission has now decided to give an opportunity to the applicants of these two examinations to submit their revised choice of Centre. The requests of the candidates for change in their Centres will be considered against the capacity intimated by the Centres for accommodating the candidates,” the UPSC said.
The window of submitting the revised choice of centres by the candidates will be operational in two phases i.e. 3rd -7th March, 2022 (06.00 PM) and 10th-14th March, 2022 (6 pm) on the Commission’s website https://upsconline.nic.in.
The UPSC has further informed the candidates that their requests for change in the centres will be considered based on the principle of "first- apply-first allot".
It is to be mentioned that and once the capacity of a particular Centre is attained, the same will be frozen and will not be visible to the candidates. The candidate will then be required to choose a Centre from the remaining ones.
All the other conditions and eligibility of the Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination, 2022 will remain unchanged.
