In a big move regarding issues over UPSC candidates’ age, government has clearly specified that it is in no mood to discuss candidates’ age and attempts in Civil Services Examinations (CSE) and found it not feasible.

Replying a question in Rajya Sabha on 10 August, Union minister Jitendra Singh said it has not been found feasible to consider any change in the existing provisions regarding number of attempts and age-limit in respect of the civil services examination.

UPSC CSE is conducted annually by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) in accordance with the CSE rules notified by the government.

“Based on the judgments passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the writ petitions filed by some CSE candidates and in light of the views expressed by the Department-related Parliamentary Standing Committee, the matter has been duly considered in the Department of Personnel and Training and it has not been found feasible to consider any change in the existing provisions regarding number of attempts and age-limit in respect of the CSE,” Mr. Singh said in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha.

Mr. Singh further said that the dates and the places for conducting the preliminary examination and main examination of CSE are fixed and notified by the Commission.

“The civil services (preliminary) examination, 2023 has been conducted by the Commission on 28.05.2023 and the results were declared on 12.06.2023 wherein adequate number of candidates (i.e. 14,624) have been declared qualified. Some unsuccessful candidates of the civil services (preliminary) examination, 2023 have approached courts of law,” the minister added.
