It’s not about salaries or quotas. It’s about timing. The latest UPSC calendar shows the Civil Services Prelims will now be held in June; not May. And Mains? Shifted to September, not October. Why does this matter? Because for lakhs of aspirants, this tiny shift means one extra month to revise. One more chance to clear the toughest exam in the country. Most students don’t realize it yet. But for those who plan their study cycles around exam dates; this is a game-changer. The ripple effect? Coaching institutes are already recalibrating batch schedules. Parents are adjusting family plans. Libraries in Delhi’s Mukherjee Nagar are seeing a quieter July; because students are now using it to revise, not start fresh. This isn’t just bureaucracy. It’s strategy. And if you’re preparing for UPSC, you better check your calendar again. The old plan won’t cut it anymore. Sometimes, the smallest change makes the biggest difference.
