What is the time duration between the Main Examination and the Personality Test (Interview) in the UPSC exam?

The time duration between the Main Examination and the Personality Test (Interview) in the UPSC exam is generally a few months. After candidates qualify the Main Examination, the UPSC conducts the Personality Test (Interview) for those who have cleared the Main stage. The interview process typically takes place between March and April of the subsequent year after the Main Examination is conducted in September. This gap provides candidates with adequate time to prepare for the interview stage.
