UPSC Civil Services Main Exam December 2016: Was News About Results Coming Out In January Fake?

New Delhi: It seems like that. Some news portals had earlier reported that the results were going to be released by Mid-January. Now news emerged that, the results will be declared by January 25. But the aspirants we talked to informed us that, guessing dates - of results without credible sources and information - has become a trend in portals and that put aspirants into mental trouble. Most of the candidates were expecting the results by February 20 or after and UPSC would take at least 70 days to do the formalities of declaring the results, including evaluation of the answer sheets, says a UPSC aspirant we talked to. We have contacted UPSC to confirm the news of early release of the results, and they said they don't have any information about that.

Last year the UPSC had declared the Mains results by February 19. The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Civil Services Main exam 2016 was conducted from December 3 to 9 at various centers across the nation. The next step in the ongoing recruitment process of UPSC Civil Services will be Personal Interview of the candidates.

According to the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) notification published earlier, there are vacancies of 1079 in the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS), Indian Revenue Service (IRS) and others. 

There was confusion over the framing of the proposition in English and Hindi when the UPSC main exams were conducted in last December. Later Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) clarified that it will accept different versions of the answers to the essay paper of the Civil Services (Main) examinations, 2016. The test paper had carried an essay that carried 125 marks, but the framing of the proposition in English and Hindi created confusion for the candidates.

Last week, UPSC published its 2017 calendar for examinations and recruitment.
