The selection process included interviews for the Personality Test held from May 5 to June 5, 2025. The candidates will be appointed based on merit and availability of vacancies, subject to the outcomes of pending legal proceedings.
Candidate Breakdown and Recommendations
The UPSC has recommended a total of 459 candidates for appointment across different categories. The breakdown of these candidates is as follows: 160 from the General category (including 7 Ex-Servicemen), 54 from the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS), 127 from the Other Backward Classes (OBC) (including 3 Ex-Servicemen), 80 from the Scheduled Castes (SC) (including 3 Ex-Servicemen), and 38 from the Scheduled Tribes (ST). This diverse representation reflects the commission’s commitment to inclusivity in the recruitment process.
It is important to note that the final selection and appointment of these candidates are contingent upon the resolution of several legal matters. Specifically, the outcomes of Writ Petition (Civil) No. 5877/2022 and other related petitions pending before the Delhi High Court will influence the final appointments. Additionally, one candidate’s result has been withheld as per court directives.
Vacancies and Services Allocation
The appointments will be made according to the number of vacancies reported by the government and the candidates’ fulfillment of all eligibility criteria.
