In the backdrop of Manipur witnessing ethnic violence earlier this month that claimed several lives, the Union Public Service Commission has decided to offer alternative centres to candidates who were allotted a centre in state capital Imphal for the civil services preliminary examination scheduled on May 28
In a press release, the UPSC said that the centre change option will be available to such candidates through an Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) facility. A message in this regard will be sent to each candidate on their mobile number registered with the Commission.
To avail this facility all the candidates must use their registered mobile number. The alternative centres are Aizawl (Mizoram), Kohima (Nagaland), Shillong (Meghalaya), Dispur (Assam), Jorhat (Assam).
