[Extra Attempt For UPSC Civil Service Exam]"We Are Not Asking You To Increase Age-limit, We Are Only Asking You To Give One-Time Concession": SC To Centre

Live Law  

"It's just a one-time relaxation. If it has been done before, why not this time", said the Supreme Court to ASG SV Raju in a plea seeking for an extra chance for Civil Service aspirants who had given their last attempt of the UPSC exam in October 2020. On September 30, the Supreme Court had directed the Central Government and the Union Public Service Commission to consider granting an extra chance to candidates who otherwise have their last attempt in 2020, with corresponding extension of the upper age-limit. The relevant observations in the Court order are as follows: "The fourth point raised before us is that some of the candidates may be giving last attempt and also likely to become age-barred for the next examination, and if such candidates are unable to appear in the examination due to Covid-19 pandemic situation, it would cause great prejudice to them.In this regard, we have impressed upon Mr. S.V.Raju, learned Additional Solicitor General appearing for the Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of health and Family Welfare and Department of Personnel and Training to explore the possibility of providing one more attempt to such candidates with corresponding extension of age limit. On October 26, the Department of Personnel and Training informed the Supreme Court that the issue regarding grant of extra attempt to last chance candidates was under the consideration of the authorities.
