🧭 Why Does UPSC Maintain a Reserve List?

UPSC follows a highly structured and transparent recruitment process. However, due to various reasons, some recommended candidates from the main list may:

• Decline the offer

• Not meet final eligibility conditions

• Fail to join on time

• Opt for other opportunities like Civil Services or private sector jobs

In such cases, instead of redoing the recruitment or leaving positions vacant, UPSC refers to the reserve list, ensuring time and effort are not wasted, and qualified candidates get their deserved opportunity.
