New Delhi: The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has offered applicants for Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination, 2020, scheduled for October 4, the option of changing their examination centre. The new centres, the choice for which must be submitted to UPSC in two phases —July 7-13 and July 20-24 — will be allotted on a first-come-firstserved basis.
“Keeping in view the large number of candidates of the Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination, 2020 (including the Indian Forest Service (Preliminary) Examination, 2020) and requests received from candidates for changing their centres, the commission has decided to give an opportunity to them to submit their revised choice of centre. The requests of the candidates for change in their centres will be considered against the additional/enhanced capacity intimated by the centres for accommodating the additional candidates,” UPSC said in a press release on Wednesday.
UPSC said all requests for change in the centres will be considered based on the principle of “first-apply-first allot” and once the capacity of a particular centre is attained, it will be frozen. The candidates who cannot get a centre of their choice due to the ceiling, will be required to choose from the remaining ones.
