The Minister Said
“For long, through Social Media and other media, many youth were asking Prelims Exam, when will it be conducted. It is natural that till this condition lasts, nothing can happen. There are some studious people who need to make a plan in advance.
Two days back, UPSC with a circular has announced that whatever will happen will happen after the Lockdown. Through your medium, we want to tell the youth that Preliminary dates will have to be postponed. But that decision will be taken after 3 May.
“Preliminary jo hone wala tha, uski taarikh aage karni padegi” ( sic)
Preliminary which was to be conducted. The Date for that has to be postponed. The decision for that shall be taken after May 3.”
