The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has postponed the Engineering Services Examination (ESE) 2025, initially scheduled for February 2025, to June 8 and August 10, 2025, following the government's decision to include the Indian Railway Management Service (IRMS) recruitment through both Civil Services and ESE exams. This change prompted the reopening of the application window, allowing candidates to apply until November 22, 2024, and make corrections from November 23 to 29, 2024. The decision aims to provide aspirants with sufficient preparation time. Concurrently, the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) has postponed its PCS Prelims 2024 exam, originally set for October 27, 2024, now expected in mid-December 2024, with further details forthcoming. Both commissions have facilitated candidate processes by updating schedules and reopening application windows.
