Can I write the UPSC exam in both Hindi and a foreign language other than those listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution?

Yes, candidates have the option to write the UPSC exam in either Hindi or English as per their
preference. Additionally, candidates can also choose to write the exam in any regional language
listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution, such as Tamil, Bengali, Kannada, etc.
However, the UPSC does not provide the option to write the exam in a foreign language. The
languages listed in the Eighth Schedule are recognized by the Indian government, and candidates
can choose the one they are most comfortable with for the exam. It is essential to make the
language choice carefully, as it will be used for answering both the Preliminary and Main
Examination papers.
