Does the UPSC provide any relaxation in the exam for candidates with disabilities?

Yes, the UPSC provides certain relaxations in the examination for candidates with
disabilities to ensure equal opportunities. Candidates with benchmark disabilities, such as
blindness, low vision, hearing impairment, locomotor disability, and cerebral palsy, are
eligible for specific concessions. These relaxations may include additional time during the
examination, the use of a scribe, or choosing an accessible examination center. However,
candidates seeking these relaxations must provide valid disability certificates from
authorized medical authorities. The UPSC ensures that candidates with disabilities are
provided with appropriate support and facilities to enable them to perform to the best of
their abilities in the examination.
