Attention all aspiring civil servants! The UPSC Civil Services 2025 interview schedule is out, and it's time to gear up for the final round of this prestigious examination. But here's where it gets controversial: the Union Public Service Commission has released the dates for the Personality Tests (Interviews), and it's a race against time for the 649 candidates who will be appearing.
The interviews will commence on December 8, 2025, and conclude on December 19, 2025, leaving little room for preparation. The reporting times are set for 9 am for the forenoon session and 1 pm for the afternoon session, so candidates must be punctual and well-prepared.
The e-Summon Letters for these interviews will be made available shortly, and candidates are advised to keep an eye on the UPSC website (upsc.gov.in) to download them. It's important to note that requests for changes in interview dates and times will not be entertained, so plan your travel and accommodations accordingly.
Now, here's an interesting point: the official notice states that candidates will be reimbursed for their travel expenses to appear for the interview, but only for Second/Sleeper class train fare (Mail Express). This might spark some debate among candidates about the fairness of such a restriction.
If you're one of the lucky 649, here's how you can download the interview schedule:
- Visit the UPSC official website (upsc.gov.in).
- Look for the UPSC Civil Services 2025 interview schedule link on the homepage.
- Click on the link, and a new PDF file will open.
- Check the personality test schedule, download it, and keep a hard copy for future reference.
