Delhi High Court has declined to postpone the UPSC mains exam which is scheduled to be conducted from Friday, January 7, 2022. The court said that it was not inclined to interfere with the schedule of UPSC civil services exam. The PIL demanded that the exam dates should be postponed amid rising cases of COVID in India. UPSC on January 5, denied the request and made a clear statement that the exam will be conducted as per schedule i.e. from Friday, January 7, 2022. Registered candidates who have not downloaded their admit cards yet can download the same by following these steps.

"Be that as it may, the candidates/petitioners have gone through all of it and were set to appear in the examinations. However, suddenly the Covid 19 infection once again surfaced with its new variant Omicron and has spread exponentially in a very short period and likely to give rise to a third Covid 19 wave," states the plea.
