Aspirants who appeared for the country’s most prestigious competitive exam will be able to check their results on the official website – upsc.gov.in.

Though no official date has been declared yet, a formal notice will be published by the Commission before the release of results. The UPSC Prelims exam serves as the first stage of the three-tier Civil Services Examination process, which selects candidates for services including the IAS, IPS, IFS, and IRS.
