The change in exam date is intended to give candidates additional preparation time and to align logistical arrangements. As per the official notification, all applicants must stay updated through the GPSC portal, where the revised timetable, admit‑card release schedule and any further instructions will be posted. The selection process for GPSC examinations generally follows: (1) Preliminary Exam – an objective test screening candidates; (2) Main Exam – a descriptive or professional test; (3) Interview/Personality Test – assessment of suitability for the post; and (4) Final merit list based on cumulative scores. Successful candidates can look forward to state‑government service positions that offer a structured career path, statutory benefits, and a respectable salary package, subject to the posting and the specific cadre. This notice is particularly relevant for aspirants who have already applied for the advertised posts and are awaiting the preliminary examination. Candidates should verify the new date, adjust their study plans accordingly, and ensure they download the updated admit card when it becomes available on the official website.
