UPSC Exams-General Information on Reservation-FAQ-Frequently Asked questions and Free Counselling


Dear Sir/ Madam, How is it that SC/ST candidates have achieved ranking with general candidates? I thought all were given last few ranks in the list.

Reservation starts from the Prelims and it is carried forward till the Interview. The 15% and 7.5% reservation for SCs/STs is available at all the stages. If someone clears the Prelims with /reservation, he/she will be considered as a reserved candidate even they top the list in the final result. If a person from the 'reserved' category clears the exam in the General category in the Prelims and he/she carry forward till the Interview with the same status, then he/she will be considered from the General Category. The same person can avail of reservation in cadre allotment etc also.
