The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is likely to release the Civil Services Examination (CSE) 2026 notification soon. The notice was delayed earlier because of administrative reasons.
According to the UPSC exam calendar, the notification was supposed to come out on January 14, 2026. However, UPSC later shared an official notice confirming that the release had been delayed. The commission said that the notifications for both the Civil Services Examination 2026 and the Indian Forest Service Examination 2026 were postponed due to administrative issues. UPSC did not announce a new date at that time.
Candidates are still waiting for an official update, but reports suggest that the notification may be released this week on the UPSC website, https://upsc.gov.in/
