Hyderabad: Aspirants complained of website outage, even as the deadline to apply for the Civil Service examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commision (UPSC) came to an end on Tuesday.
The UPSC, which had earlier released a notification for 1,056 posts, had said that the last date to fill the online application is March 5, before 6 pm.
Many aspirants vented out their anger on the micro blogging site ‘X’ and requested the UPSC to extend the deadline.
