In its last meeting on May 20, UPSC had said that it would review the situation after the third phase of the nation-wide restrictions, due to COVID-19.
“Taking notice of the extension of several restrictions, the Commission decided that it will not be possible to resume examinations and interviews, for the present,” a UPSC statement had said.
Notably, the test was scheduled to be held on May 31 but it was postponed due to the coronavirus COVID-19 lockdown imposed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to curb the spread of coronavirus in the country.
