When is the start date for the UPSC examination? Will it overlap with any college exams?

 The UPSC exam is actually conducted in stages, so there are two relevant dates to consider:

• UPSC Prelims 2024: The date for this was originally scheduled for May 26th, 2024, but it has been postponed due to the general elections. The new start date is June 16th, 2024.
• UPSC Mains 2024: This stage is currently scheduled for September 20th, 2024.

Whether these dates will overlap with your college exams depends on your specific college's academic calendar. It's wise to check your college's exam schedule to see if there are any conflicts.
