Having successfully cleared the rigorous challenge of the UPPSC main examination, the state’s future administrative officers are now being evaluated on their personality, knowledge, communication style, and quick decision-making abilities. UPPSC Interview Questions: The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) has formally started the interview round for the Combined State/Upper Subordinate Services (UP PCS) 2025 on September 28.
This time, the interaction between the interview board and the candidates is taking place in a highly relaxed and supportive atmosphere. Each interview panel comprises four subject experts who are asking questions focusing on the candidate’s academic background, contemporary national and international issues, and practical scenarios. The board is also presenting candidates with hypothetical scenarios and real-world administrative challenges. For instance, candidates are asked to formulate action plans to address the growing issue of e-rickshaws in cities or to outline the steps they would take as officials to further promote girls’ education. The final selection list will be prepared by combining the marks obtained in the written examination and the interview, paving the way for Uttar Pradesh to gain new Deputy Collectors, DSPs, and other senior administrative officers.
On average, each candidate’s interview lasts between 15 and 25 minutes. The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission declared the results of the PCS Mains examination 2025 on September 17. Out of the 10,284 candidates who appeared for the main exam, 2,297 were declared successful and shortlisted for the interview stage. The recruitment drive covers a total of 814 posts across 28 different categories; while two of these posts are to be filled solely based on the written examination, the interview process is being conducted for the remaining 812 positions. The interview phase will span 19 working days, concluding on October 24.
