Is the Main exam result coming in early February 2010?

On January 5, 2010, In UPSC Notifications, By upsc aspirants

Some students and aspirants are saying that the result of the UPSC Civil Services Main Examination 2009 will come in the first week of February, 2010. A few said that this news was given by the UPSC enquiry counter (facilitation counter).

Well, the news is not confirmed but be prepared for the Main exam result before the usual mid-March or late March announcement. It will only help shortening the exam period and process if the results come early. Please prepare for the upcoming interviews.

All the best to all UPSC aspirants.

UPSC will not charge any examination fee from females

On January 4, 2010, In Girls in UPSC, UPSC Notifications, By upsc aspirants

In the recently notified UPSC Civil Services Examination (also called the IAS Exam/examination by many), the Union Public Service Commission has decided to give fee exemption to females along with the SCs, STs and the PH category. This is a welcome step and probably will be admitted in the UPSC examination system and be applied to all the exams conducted by the commission.

Please note that this fee is the remission on the 50 Rupees fee to be paid after buying the application form. Women and everyone else (including the SC, ST, PH category candidates) have to buy the UPSC forms in 20 Rupees and there is no fee rebate on that.
