The UPSC CSE-2023 preliminary exam (Prelims) will be conducted on 28th May by the Union Public Service Commission. Metro services in Delhi, Noida and Greater Noida will start operations from 6 AM on Sunday for the convenience of UPSC aspirants.
To facilitate the UPSC aspirants, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has changed metro timings on its phase 3 sections:
Dilshad Garden – Shaheed Sthal (New Bus Adda)
Noida City Centre – Noida Electronic City
Janakpuri West – Botanical Garden
Dhansa Bus Stand – Dwarka
Mundka – Brigadier Hoshiar Singh
Badarpur Border – Raja Nahar Singh (Ballabhgarh)

It said the train services on Phase 3 which usually begin at 8 am on Sundays will begin at 6 am on May 28, 2023. Metro services on the rest of the sections will remain running as per the normal schedule from 6 am onwards.
As such the administration of Noida-Greater Noida has also decided to change the timing for metro services. It will begin services from 6 am on Sunday instead of 8 am.
Metro train services will start at 6 am from both terminal stations –Depot in Greater Noida and Sector 51 in Noida, Sector 142 and Sector 144 on Aqua Line.
“The Noida Metro Rail Corporation will start passenger carriage services from 6 am at an interval of 15 minutes instead of 8 am on May 28 to facilitate civil services exam aspirants,” NMRC Managing Director Ritu Maheshwari said in a statement.
She further said, “Metro train services will thus start at 6 am from both terminal stations (Depot in Greater Noida and Sector 51 in Noida), Sector 142 and Sector 144 on Aqua Line, and will continue normally thereafter.”
