A petition is filed in the Delhi HC challenging Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT)'s refusal to grant interim relief in the plea seeking a reduction in the cut-off from 33% to 23% for qualifying Part II CSAT exam 2023 Civil Services Examination conducted by UPSC last month.

The matter was heard on June 9, 2023, and during the hearing, the tribunal decided to not hold the results of the aspirants who appeared this year and issued a notice to UPSC on plea seeking reduction. Central Administrative Tribunal has refused to direct the commission to keep the preliminary result on hold as prayed for by the applicants. The matter is scheduled for the next hearing on July 6, 2023.

"This matter affects lakhs of students across the country who are affected by CSAT paper II conducted by UPSC. Since the result for the same has been declared on June 12, 20923, it is necessary that this matter be heard at the earliest," reads the petition, as reported by Live Law.
