The Union Public Service Commission has allowed the facility of withdrawal of applications by candidates. Candidates who applied for Engineering Services Examination 2019 and now wish to withdraw the application form can do so till November 5, 2018 (18:00 hrs). This revolutionary step is taken by UPSC for Engineering Services Exam 2019 and more recruitment examinations will be brought under this arrangement.
Around one month back, the UPSC Chairman Shri Arvind Saxena said that UPSC’s experience with the Civil Services Examination is that roughly 50% of the 10 lakh plus candidates who fill in the application forms for the Preliminary examination actually write the examination. “The Commission has to book venues, print papers, hire invigilators and ship the documents for all the 10 lakh applicants – which turns out to be a 50% waste of energy and resources”, he said. “UPSC’s view is that if we are able to work with genuine and serious candidates, we can give them better facilities and make our system more efficient”, he added.
