Petitioners stated that October 4 prelims were severely restricted due to COVID-19
The Union government on January 25 made it clear in the Supreme Court that it cannot afford to give another chance to the Union Public Services Commission (UPSC) aspirants, including “last-attempters”, who claimed their preparations for the October 4 prelims were severely restricted due to the pandemic.
In a 13-page affidavit filed before the court on January 25 late, the Department of Personnel and Training said it was “curious to note that the petitioners, who participated in the examination with open eyes, only approached the Supreme Court after the results of the examination was declared”.
