The Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination, 2020, scheduled to be held on 31 May, has been postponed. After reviewing the COVID-19 situation on May 20, fresh dates will be notified on the UPSC website.

Since this examination also serves as the screening test for the Indian Forest Service Examination, the schedule for the Indian Forest Examination is also deferred.

"Taking notice of the extension of restrictions, the Commision decided that it will not be possible to resume examinations and interviews for the present," statement issued by the UPSC read.

As and when dates are decided for the deferred examinations, candidates will be given a notice of at least 30 days.
