The Supreme Court considered their plea and directed the UPSC to search for such considerations in the IAS exam 2021. UPSC in its written reply that an extra attempt can be considered but for this, it requires the permission of the Ministry of Personnel.

The decision regarding an extra attempt in the UPSC IAS 2021 exam is still pending with the Government of India. Maybe because of this, the UPSC notification may be delayed by one week.
