UPSC Extra Attempt has been one of the most talked-about topics in the last year. The candidates of 2020, 2021 have been asking the Government of India and the Union Public Service Commission to consider the pandemic situation and provide the candidates who would have appeared at that time to be given two extra attempts or age relaxation. Students are still sitting on hunger strike in Delhi while the Commission has told SC that the issue of giving an extra attempt to those seeking it is highly complicated.
Students fear that their dreams would be lost due to pandemics while the Union Public Service Commission has a separate stand on the issue. But will the candidates get an extra attempt? It is hard to say.
Two students sitting on hunger strike and request the Government of India for compensatory attempt due to covid and even the Supreme Court agrees with this demand and urges the government to show leniency to the demand.

UPSC Extra Attempt: What Are Civil Service Aspirants Demanding & Why?
UPSC Extra Attempt: What Did GOI Say?
Now the Government has said in the Rajya Sabha that it would not be considering any extra attempt for the candidates. Check the reaction of candidates over the social media platform Twitter against this decision. The candidates were protesting for two extra attempts as many of them could not attempt the UPSC CSE Exams in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID 19 pandemic. To raise this issue, writs had been filed in the Supreme Court of India.
The Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh informed in a written reply that the issue of granting age relaxation and an extra attempt to the candidates in the Civil Services Exam after Covid 19 hit the country had been brought before the apex court of India through writs by several candidates. The Minister of State for Personnel said that after considering the apex court’s decision, the Government found it not feasible to change the existing provisions and bring any change in the number of attempts or age relaxation limits of candidates. “In view of the above, no such proposal is under consideration,” said Singh. He replied to a question in Rajya Sabha put up to seek cognizance on this issue.
The candidates are surely not happy with this information and have shown their anger on Twitter. Check out some of the tweets below.

Aspirants and families have been struggling for a long time.
Students from all corners of our country are feeling hopeless and betrayed by @DrJitendraSingh ji https://t.co/vWeks4LiCD
One can see above that the students all over attempting UPSC CSE are not happy with Minister Jitendra Singh.
UPSC had conducted the exam in 2020 and 2021 even after repeated disruptions and the UPSC Mains exam 2021 happened amidst a lot of chaos as well. UPSC is a constitutional body and cannot be governed by the whims and fancies of some disruptive forces and most of all politics.
Many others requested the Government to still grant them their wish of an extra attempt.
Pls give extra attempt in upsc for CMS and CSE examination ....Many students who don't appear in UPSC due to Covid. Pls listen. #UPSCExtraAttempt
