UPPSC Reschedules Exams Amidst Aspirant Protests

The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission has postponed the Review Officer and Assistant Review Officer exams following demands from aspirants, opting to hold the Provincial Civil Services preliminary exam under the old pattern. Protests by aspirants outside the commission's office have catalyzed this decision and urged exam schedule revisions.

In response to persistent demands from exam aspirants, the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) has announced significant changes to its examination schedule. The Review Officer (RO) and Assistant Review Officer (ARO) exams have been postponed, while the Provincial Civil Services (PCS) preliminary exam will follow the old pattern.

This decision was made public as a number of aspirants gathered outside the UPPSC office, protesting to ensure the exams are conducted in a single shift. The UPPSC has also initiated a committee to review the examinations of RO and ARO, promising to address aspirants' concerns effectively.

The PCS preliminary exams are now slated for December 7 and 8, whereas the RO and ARO exams are set for December 22 and 23. The commission's swift action reflects their responsiveness to the growing waves of public concern and protest.
