The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Friday informed the Supreme Court that it will not be feasible to give another chance at the civil services main examination to aspirants who fell sick with COVID-19 when the exam was held in January.
“A number of representations were received in the DoPT putting forth the same demand of compensatory/extra attempt... The matter has been considered and it has not been found feasible to change the existing provisions regarding the number of attempts and age-limit in respect of the civil services examination,” the Centre said in an affidavit.
