The Combined Defence Services (CDS) exam will be conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) on February 3. While the Commission has banned communication devices inside the premises where the exam will be held, it has also instructed candidates not to take any costly items to the exam centre. "Candidates are advised in their own interest not to bring any of the banned items including mobile phones/ pagers/ bluetooth or any valuable/costly items to the venue of the examination as arrangements for safe keeping cannot be assured," it said. "Commission will not be responsible for any loss in this regard," it added later.
