The UPSC civil services exam is one of the most highly competitive and prestigious civil services exams. It is conducted by the Union Public Service Commission in India in three stages: Preliminary Examination, Main Examination, and Personality Test. This exam is designed for the requirements of various civil service positions within the Indian government, including the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS), and other Group A and Group B services.
The UPSC Civil Services Exam opens up opportunities for individuals from our country to serve in key administrative and leadership roles within the Indian government.
