The information tells us the Government has not deemed it practicable to alter the current rules governing the number of attempts and age limit for the Civil Services Exams, according to Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Wednesday.
According to the Minister of State for People, the Supreme Court of India was asked to decide on whether to offer candidates for the Civil Services Examination (CSE) “an additional try and an age relaxation because of COVID-19”.
In a written response to Lok Sabha, He stated, “The matter was considered and it has not been found feasible to change the existing provisions regarding number of attempts and age-limit in respect of the Civil Services Examination. This is in accordance with the judgments passed by Hon’ble Supreme Court of India”.
However, covid-19 caused the Staff Selection Commission’s (SSC) hiring process to be delayed. Therefore, the SSC has determined that the key date for determining age for the exams being announced in 2022 is January 1, 2022, said Jitendra Singh.
Jitendra Singh further added, as per schedule for the administration of tier-II examinations, the key date for establishing age for these exams would be either on August 1, 2022, or January 1, 2023.
