91 candidates who cleared UPSC Civil Services Exam 2021 not allocated service yet: Minister to Lok Sabha

The Minister in a written reply informed the Lok Sabha that "This was due to reasons such as limited preference, findings of medical examination, the unsuccessful claim of reserved category, candidature withdrawn by candidates in accordance with the provisions of CSE Rules-2021."

Union Minister of State for personnel Jitendra Singh has informed the Lok Sabha that Ninety-one candidates who were selected through the Civil Services Examinations in 2021 could not be allocated any government service. 

The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) holds the civil services examination to select officers for the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS) and Indian Police Service (IPS) and others. Of the 748 candidates recommended by the Commission on the basis of the civil services examination-2021 (CSE), 91 candidates could not be allocated to any service until December 7, 2022.

The Minister in a written reply informed the Lok Sabha that "This was due to reasons such as limited preference, findings of medical examination, unsuccessful claim of reserved category, candidature withdrawn by candidates in accordance with the provisions of CSE Rules-2021."

"Six recommended candidates of CSE-2021, whose parent(s) were working in the state public sector undertakings, have been treated as falling under other backward classes (OBCs) (creamy-layer)," he said.

The Minister was replying to a question on "whether some OBC candidates have not been allocated service stating the lack of equivalence for posts held by their parents in state public sector undertakings, towards determining their non-creamy layer status".

"The report of the expert committee constituted by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment to examine the issues related to creamy layer equivalence amongst the socially and educationally backward classes (SEBCs) is under consideration," the minister said.
