UP Public Service Commission’s exam schedule sparks protests

New Update

Thousands of candidates are protesting against the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission’s (UPPSC) proposal of holding the Combined State/Senior Subordinate Services (Prelims) PCS and the Review Officer/Assistant Review Officer (RO/ARO) exams in two shifts.

While PCS prelims will be held 7 and 8 December, RO/ARO exam is scheduled for 22 and 23 December.

Around 12 lakh candidates are likely to appear for this UPPSC RO/ARO exam that was supposed to have taken place on 29 January and 2 February, but got cancelled due to a paper leak. It’s now taking place in December.

In October, civil service aspirants protested outside the UPPSC office in Prayagraj and now their stir has gone online on various social media platforms such as ‘X’.

These candidates alleged that in February, the Commission conducted the exam in a single shift, but it had to be cancelled as the paper was leaked back then.

Over 11 lakh applications were received for 400-450 posts for RO/ARO positions that were advertised by the UPPSC in October 2023.
