The Union Public Services Commission (UPSC) conducts the Civil Services Examination (CSE) for recruitment to different civil services under the Government of India (GoI) like Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS) and Indian Foreign Service (IFS).

The exam is held in three phases- Prelims, Mains and Interview. The vacancies in the various services vary every year.

The government believes in gender equality, which is why the Civil Services Examination doesn't ask for a fee from the female candidates, said the Minister.

UPSC gives relaxation of age to widows, women judicially separated and divorced women for up to 35 years and up to 40 years for candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.

Lastly, the Minister said that this trend of a good number of CSE candidates with Hindi as their mother tongue being chosen for central civil services is motivating for future aspirants.
