The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has declared the results of the Civil Services (Main) Examination 2026, on November 5, 2026, with successful candidates qualifying for the personality test of the highly coveted examination.
The civil services exam is conducted annually in three stages — preliminary, main, and interview — to select candidates for the Indian Administrative Services (IAS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS), and Indian Police Service (IPS) and other services.
A candidate who clears the written examination (Main) will proceed to the personality test, also referred to as the UPSC interview. The interview carries 275 marks, while the written Mains examination carries 1,750 marks. The final merit list is prepared using the combined scores of both the main and interview stages of the UPSC examination.
Candidates who qualify for the Mains examination will receive e-summon letters of personality tests (Interviews), which can be downloaded from the commission’s website.
No paper/physical summon letters will be issued for the personality tests (interviews) by the commission.
Dates of personality tests (interviews) of the candidates will be notified in due course, as per the official communication. The interviews will be held at the Office of the Union Public Service Commission at Dholpur House, Shahjahan Road, New Delhi.
