UPPSC extended the UPPCS 2019 DAF submission date. Read below for details.

The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission extended the UPPSC PCS main exam 2019 Detailed Application Form (DAF) submission date to 15 May 2020. In a series of notices for the UPPSC exams, the commission now extended the dates because of coronavirus pandemic, the exams are already postponed and no new dates have been announced by UPPSC.

But later, the UPSC issued a notice that the UPPSC PCS main exam 2019 was postponed and will be conducted on a future date. Meanwhile, the commission also issued UPPSC PCS 2020 notification and the last day to fill the online application is May 21, 2020. See here details.

Now that the last date of DAF submission is May 15, it is anticipated that the main exam will be conducted between May 16 and June 21. It will be very difficult to conduct the two big exams in such a short span of time. On the other side, it is not certain that the lockdown will not be continued further.

The candidates who are appearing in the UPPSC PCS main exam 2019 are under tremendous pressure because of the lined up exams have different exam patterns and required a different orientation altogether. 

The IAS Prelims is scheduled to be conducted on May 31, 2020. The UPPSC PCS 2020 exam (prelims) will be conducted on June 21, 2020 and the UPPSC PCS main exam 2019 will be conducted in between these dates. So the candidates need to switch their preparation between main and prelims exam of two largest recruiting agencies of India.
