This was said in the 23rd conference of the State Public Service Commission held in Odisha recently.”

If this happens then it will help in reducing the stress of examinations among the youth. Together they will continue to have hope for jobs.
Arvind Saxena said that several steps are being taken to make the UPSC examination process a candidate friendly.exam He said that candidates who apply for upcoming civil services examinations will be given the option of withdrawing their application form soon.
