Will this affect the exam schedule?

Since the UPSC has postponed the exam notification, the question is whether this will lead to any change in the exam date. Usually, this does not happen, but if there is a significant delay in the notification, the last date for the application may change. According to the UPSC calendar, the preliminary examination (Prelims) was scheduled for May 24, 2026. Since there is still a lot of time before the exam date, the chances of it being postponed are quite low.
