The UPPSC preliminary exam will now be conducted on December 22, 2024, in a single-day format after candidates' protests. The decision aims to address fairness
After candidates protested, the Uttar Pradesh government made the historic decision to hold the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) preliminary exam on a single day. Originally set for December 7 and 8, the test will now be held on December 22, 2024.
A first shift from 9.30am to 11.30am and a second session from 2.30pm to 4.30pm will be used for the examination. Following hundreds of students' demonstrations outside the UPPSC headquarters in Prayagraj, the timetable was revised. The previous multi-day test structure has been criticized by the candidates as being unfair and prone to irregularities.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath intervened in response to the protests, directing the UPPSC to address the students' grievances. In an official statement, the UPPSC confirmed that the exam would now be held on a single day, citing the format used in previous years for the Combined State/Senior Subordinate Service Examination.
"In view of the nature of the Combined State/Senior Subordinate Service Examination, the Commission has decided in principle to conduct it on a single day, as was done earlier," news agency ANI quoted the UPPSC as saying.
The schedule change will reduce travel hassles for aspirants from across the state. Over 10 lakh candidates are expected to take the review officer/assistant review officer (Pre) examination.
Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak assured students that their concerns had been fully addressed. "The problem has been resolved. The state government is committed to students' welfare, and their demands have been met," Mr Pathak told media persons.
