हिंदी में जानकारी

संघ लोक सेवा आयोग (UPSC) की वर्ष 2026 की सिविल सेवा परीक्षा (CSE) और भारतीय वन सेवा (IFS) की अधिसूचना, जो पहले 14 जनवरी 2026 को जारी होने वाली थी, प्रशासनिक कारणों से स्थगित कर दी गई है। आयोग जल्द ही नई अधिसूचना और संशोधित आवेदन तिथियाँ जारी करेगा।

फिलहाल प्रारंभिक परीक्षा की प्रस्तावित तिथि 24 मई 2026 बताई गई थी, लेकिन अंतिम पुष्टि नई अधिसूचना जारी होने के बाद ही मानी जाएगी। उम्मीदवारों को सलाह दी जाती है कि वे नवीनतम अपडेट के लिए UPSC की आधिकारिक वेबसाइट नियमित रूप से देखते रहें, ताकि आवेदन और परीक्षा से जुड़ी कोई महत्वपूर्ण जानकारी छूट न जाए।

Preparation Tips

• Master Paper I: Focus on Quantitative Aptitude, Logical Reasoning, and General Science (NCERTs are your best friend here).

• Paper II Consistency: Start writing weekly essays on current social, political, and security issues. This is where most candidates struggle with time management.

• Stay Physically Active: Don't wait for the written results to start training. The 800m run and Long Jump require consistent stamina building.

• Official Resources: Regularly check upsc.gov.in for the revised notification and avoid unverified rumors.
