UP PCS Prelims 2024 Ends with 42% Turnout – Key Highlights

Introduction 

The UP PCS Prelims 2024 concluded on Sunday, with about 42 per cent of the candidates appearing. “The PCS Pre exam was completed peacefully on Sunday. For the fairness of the exam, a double-layer system was put in place in which the police and the agency were conducting separate investigations,” said Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) Secretary Ashok Kumar. 

Every candidate of every centre was monitored from the control room set up in the commission. This monitoring was done through CCTV cameras installed in 1,331 centres across the state. As soon as any candidate was seen roaming around, we immediately alerted the concerned centre about what the particular candidate was doing," Kumar said.

According to him, all exams were monitored through CCTV and were live-streamed. Candidates' iris and other biometrics were screened to filter out proxies. An incident of cheating was found in Etah at Jawaharlal Nehru PG College, where a candidate came with earphones, he said. 

Out of the 5,76,154 candidates that applied for the exam, only 2,41,212 candidates appeared. 

On 15 November 2024, the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) announced that the Provincial Civil Services (PCS) Preliminary Exam-2024 will be held on 22 December in two shifts. After the announcement, there were protests by students, who demanded that the two exams be held on a single day. The protests continued for five days.
