Aspiring civil servants, mark your calendars! The UPSC Civil Services 2025 interview schedule is finally out, and this is the moment many candidates have been waiting for. But here's where it gets crucial: the personality test dates are now live on the official UPSC website, upsc.gov.in, and you won’t want to miss this. The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has officially announced the interview schedule for the Civil Services (Main) Examination, a pivotal step in the journey to becoming a civil servant. And this is the part most people miss: the interviews will run from December 8 to December 19, 2025, with a total of 649 candidates set to face the panel. Reporting times are set at 9 AM for the forenoon session and 1 PM for the afternoon session—no exceptions. But here’s a controversial point: while the e-Summon Letters for these interviews will be available soon, UPSC has made it clear that requests for date or time changes will rarely be considered. Is this fair, or does it add unnecessary stress to an already high-pressure situation? Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, candidates will receive reimbursement for travel expenses, but it’s limited to Second/Sleeper class train fare—a detail that might spark debate among those traveling long distances. To download the interview schedule, follow these simple steps: 1. Visit upsc.gov.in. 2. Click on the UPSC Civil Services 2025 interview schedule link on the homepage. 3. Open the PDF file that appears. 4. Review the personality test schedule and download it for future reference. 5. Keep a hard copy handy—you’ll need it.
