Union Minister Jitendra Singh has made a big announcement that will affect aspirants of the UPSC civil services examination. The government has decided against making any modifications to the current age limits and the number of attempts allowed for the examination, putting an end to speculations about potential changes, as per a report by PTI.

Being one of the most fiercely competitive exams in the country, the CSE has a meticulously structured format with strict rules and guidelines, including limits on the number of attempts and a fixed age threshold.

Union Minister Jitendra Singh, the Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions of India, expressed his perspective in a parliamentary response, stating, "After considering the judgments of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in response to petitions filed by certain CSE candidates and taking into account the views of the Department-related Parliamentary Standing Committee, the Department of Personnel and Training has concluded that it is not feasible to make any changes to the existing provisions regarding the number of attempts and age limit for the CSE."
