The Union Public Service Commission has decided to allow aspirants to change their choice of centre for the civil services preliminary examination to be held on October 4 this year and the civil services main examination on January 8, 2021.
A statement on the commission’s website said the window for submitting the revised choice of centres by candidates will be operational in two phases — from July 7 to 13 and July 20 to 24 and it can be done on the website (https://upsconline.nic.in). The choice of the candidate’s request will be considered based on the principle of first apply-first allot basis. In case a centre reaches its capacity, the same will be frozen.
In the same note, the commission has notified a provision that aspirants can withdraw their applications in case they wish not to appear for the examination and they can do so from August 1 to 8. However, there are no disqualifications in case a candidate does not withdraw his or her application and does not appear for the exam.
