UPSC CSE Exam Date 2020 - Summary
The Supreme Court has refused to postpone the Union Public Service Commission, UPSC Civil Service Prelims 2020 scheduled to be conducted on October 4, 2020. A plea was filed in the apex court to postpone the IAS exam further due to the outbreak of COVID 19. SC pointed out that the SOPs have been followed in various public exams conducted recently and denied any special requests. It has however conceded requests for considerations on age limit and last attempt.
The order reads, “Considering the fact that exams have been conducted in the recent past, it is a testimony to the fact that SOP is followed by MHA to conduct such exams. Lack of transport facilities across all centers has not been substantiated by the Petitioners.”
It also added “An extra attempt is sought for the ones who are taking the last attempt as they might not able to appear due to the pandemic. In this regard, we have impressed upon ASG Raju to explore the possibility of giving them one more attempt to such exams without extending the age limit.” UPSC said that the concessions regarding age may only be made for those who are on their last attempt and/or are about to cross the age-limit and could not be made available to others to which the apex court agreed.
The apex court noted, “every year there are some issues. Like environmental issues etc, and this is not a case of students appearing, these are to be public servants and they should act like that. Come out of your shell and comfort zone.”
