Supreme court on Wednesday refused to defer the UPSC civil services preliminary exams to be held on October 4. A bunch of petitions had sought postponement of the exams on grounds of the covid-19 pandemic and floods in several parts of the country.
A Supreme Court bench comprising Justices A M Khanwilkar and Sanjiv Khanna said the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) should ensure that covid-19 protocols are followed at the exam centres.
The top court also directed the Centre to consider concessions for those for whom this will be the last attempt at the exams.
