Looking at the demand of civil service aspirants to adapt
the changes in Civil Service examination in March 2013, government approved two
additional attempts for candidates from this year.
This relaxation has comes a relief for lakhs of aspirants
who were quite aggrieved by sudden changes in pattern for Civil Service Main
exam 2013. Earlier last year, UPSC notified of revised pattern on March 5 last year
that will double the number of papers for General Studies and increase its
weightage vis-a-vis optional subjects, months ahead of the Mains 2013 exam.
Recently, group of civil services aspirants protested
outside Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi's residence against the short
notice given to them to adapt to the "drastic changes" in the Mains
exam pattern and demanded 3 extra attempts and relaxation of three years in the
age limit.
With 2 extra attempts, Civil services candidates, who now
get just four attempts to write the prestigious exam, will now get six attempts.
This year, Civil Service Preliminary exam is scheduled on
August 24, 2014.
