UPPSC Concedes to Student Protests, Conducts PCS Exam in One Day

Despite the decision to hold the PCS exam in a single day, students continue to demand the same for the RO/ARO exams.

The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) will conduct the PCS preliminary exam in one day following massive student protests in Prayagraj.
Protests erupted after UPPSC initially scheduled the PCS and RO/ARO exams over multiple days, raising concerns about potential paper leaks and fairness.
Students are demanding that the RO/ARO exams also be held in a single shift, as the current decision only applies to the PCS exam.
A committee has been formed to explore the feasibility of conducting the RO/ARO exams in a single shift, but students remain unconvinced and continue their protests.
The protests have triggered a political response, with opposition leaders criticizing the UP government for its handling of the situation.
