The IAS exams are considered one of the toughest exams. Every year millions are candidates appear for the exam. UPSC's vast syllabus and three-tier selection process even take more than once to crack the exam.
Today, let's talk about the number of attempts one candidate has on appearing for UPSC CSE.
What counts as an attempt?
Suppose you applied for the UPSC CSE and then fail to appear for the preliminary exam, which is the first round of the UPSC CSE recruitment process. In that case, it will not be counted as an attempt. But, if you appear for the UPSC CSE prelim exam, that will count as an attempt. Even if the candidate skips their main exam after qualifying.
If a candidate is disqualified due to any reason or their candidature is cancelled during the examination, they will still be considered as attempted.
