The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) has revised the Civil Services prelims exam result for women candidates following an order from the Allahabad High Court. On the basis of the case filed by petitioner Khushboo Bansal, who had scored enough marks to be considered qualified but was disqualified as she is not domiciled in Uttar Pradesh, the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court had ordered UPPSC to revise the result.
The UP Civil Services exam is referred to as Combined State/ Upper Subordinate Service exam.
The prelims result was declared on March 30.
After the results were revised, more than 160 female candidates from other states have made it to the list of qualified candidates. They are now eligible to appear for the main exam.
The candidates have been asked to submit the documents required for the main exam latest by October 11.
