What’s New This Year?
In an interesting deviation from tradition, the UPSC released the CSE notification for 2025 early in October when, by this time in the earlier years, the agency had completed the process of releasing the notification for the upcoming examination.
Although it is a part of a shifting trend, the timing of the release could overwhelm the aspirants, and transition pressure might reach unexpected levels, as for many people, especially those of the entrenched earlier preparation, this relatively small change could convert a ground-breaking preparation year to basic ones. In this transition, January will allow additional time for realizing the dream by going through the syllabus, revising, and getting choices well according to the subjects chosen at mains exam level from last year for adequate preparation.
Will Their Be Increase in Vacancies?
One of the biggest questions in the minds of the people aspiring for the UPSC Civil Services Exam 2025 is the upcoming recruitment to be announced along with the total number of vacancies aside from compulsory services this year. In 2024, the figure was 1,056 total CSE vacancies, in addition to 150 further vacancies in the Civil Services (IFS). There has been no official information this year whether the number of vacancies would be bigger, but people continued keeping themselves abreast with any information they could find on what UPSC will disclose after election.
Normally, the number of vacancies and the actual total of required recruitments are determined by the government, and any change in this number, be it an increase or decrease, will be communicated through advertisement in the official UPSC notification.
