Details
The calendar was issued as on 20 May 2026 and lists, for each exam, the date of notification, the last date to apply and the date the exam starts. UPSC adds that these dates can change if circumstances require, so treat them as a plan and wait for each exam notice. Applications are made on the UPSC online application portal.
The lines most candidates need are in the key dates below. Notification and last dates are shown only where the calendar gives them. The calendar leaves the dates blank for the CDS (I) and (II) exams and says the IFS Prelims go through the Civil Services Prelims.
