UPSC Apply Online
In this section, I shall be explaining to you the Online Application process for the UPSC exams.
Latest update:
In August 2021, the UPSC issued a notification on its website announcing the UPSC 2022 notification release date, UPSC 2022 Application dates, and UPSC 2022 Prelims and Mains dates.
The notification stated that the UPSC notification for 2022 will be posted on February 2, 2022, and that online registrations will begin on that day and continue until February 22, 2022.
The announcement further stated that the 2022 UPSC Prelims test will be held on June 5, 2022, while the 2022 UPSC Mains exam will be held for the next 5 days beginning September 16, 2021.
It’s also worth noting that the UPSC CSE (Civil Services Test) announcement for 2021 was released on March 4, 2021, the same day that registrations for the IAS exam began. By the 24th of March 2021, the time for new registrations has closed.
UPSC has decided to postpone the UPSC 2021 Prelims to October 10th, 2021, due to the second wave of COVID-19. The UPSC 2021 Mains were held on January 7, 8, 9, 15, and 16, 2022.
