UPSC Mains Result 2019 has Not Been Released

When will the UPSC release the Civil Services Main 2019 results? UPSC today announced that the Civil Services Mains results 2019 will be known only next week. All the 11,845 candidates shortlisted from the preliminary exams have to wait until next week to know their results. It is kept pending for the order by the CAT or Central Administrative Tribunal on a case filed by few applicants from the EWS or the Economically Weaker Section. The said order is to be pronounced tomorrow, January 9, and then the UPSC will announce it anytime next week.

UPSC conducted the civil service main exams from September 20 to 29, 2019. Most of the 11,845 students who were shortlisted from the preliminary exams, wrote the main exams for 1750 marks.

Rakesh Gupta, UPSC secretary, said that after the court's order, the UPSC would be able to release the results anytime, and it could surely be by next week.
