UPSC Announces Results for Indian Economic and Statistical Services
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has released the results of the Indian Economic Service (IES) and Indian Statistical Service (ISS) examinations for 2024.

This announcement includes the merit lists of candidates recommended for appointment to these prestigious services. The results are crucial for many aspirants who have dedicated significant time and effort to prepare for these competitive exams.
Examination Overview and Results
The UPSC conducts the IES and ISS examinations annually to recruit candidates for various economic and statistical roles within the Indian government.
