- Special arrangements were also made for disabled candidates.
This time, a different enthusiasm is being seen among lakhs of youth regarding the UPSC Civil Services Examination, which is counted among the toughest examinations in the country. Some are preparing from the village, while others are immersed in books day and night in a rented room in a big city. Meanwhile, Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has given great relief to the candidates and added three new examination centres. The special thing is that these new centers were accepted by the students and more than 23 thousand candidates made them their choice.
Now the total number of examination centers for Civil Services Examination has increased from 80 to 83. This time Bhubaneswar, Kanpur and Meerut have been included as new examination centres. UPSC says that this will reduce the increasing crowd at the old centers and students will also get ease in travelling.
Relief news for lakhs of students

UPSC Chairman Ajay Kumar said that the Commission is continuously working towards making the examination process more easy, convenient and in the interest of students. He says that the purpose of adding new centers is not only to reduce crowding but also to provide better facilities to the students.
How many students chose which centre?
All three newly added centers received good response from the students. Bhubaneswar Center received the maximum 10,656 applications. This reduced the pressure on Cuttack Centre. Kanpur center was chosen by 6,938 students, which reduced the crowd at Lucknow centre. 5,902 candidates chose Meerut Centre.
