UPPSC Mains 2024 Application Details Released

Clarification on Dates: The dates mentioned (7th March 2025 to 24th March 2025) for the UPPSC Mains 2024 application period appear inconsistent, as 2025 seems too far ahead for a 2024 exam cycle. This might be a typo. Typically, UPPSC releases notifications for the Mains exam a few months after the Prelims. Candidates should verify the official UPPSC website (uppsc.up.nic.in) for accurate dates.
