Leh to conduct Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination, 2021 for the first time scheduled on 10th October, 2021
Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Science & Technology; Minister of State (Independent Charge) Earth Sciences; MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh, today informed about the setting up of a separate IAS/Civil Services Exam Centre for Ladakh, to be located at Leh.
The announcement came soon after Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh R K Mathur called on the Union Minister at the DoPT headquarters in North Block to discuss the placement of IAS officers and other service related matters in the context of Ladakh.
As per an official handout issued after the meeting, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) will, from this year, have an Examination Centre at Leh, which will operate for the first time for the Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination 2021, scheduled to be held on 10th of October this year. This will address a long pending demand of the youth from the Ladakh region whose grievance was that they found it difficult to reach Examination Centres in other parts of the country because of the constraints of affordability of air fare and uncertain weather conditions.
