UPSC CSE 2026 notification out; apply for 933 vacancies
UPSC just dropped the Civil Services Exam (CSE) 2026 notification, offering 933 spots in top roles like IAS, IPS, IFS, and IRS.
Applications are open now and close on February 24 at 6pm—so if you're aiming for these careers, don't wait too long!
Head to upsconline.nic.in to apply.
Things to remember
The prelims are set for May 24, with mains kicking off August 21.
You'll need a Bachelor's degree and should be between 21-32 years old as of August 1, 2026 (some categories get age relaxation).
The fee is ₹100 unless you're SC/ST/Female or have benchmark disabilities—you get a free pass.
Competition will be tough
This year's vacancies are fewer than last year's (which had over a thousand), so competition might be even tighter.
If you're serious about joining the civil services, now's your chance—don't let the deadline sneak up on you!
