BharatNotes UPSC releases a year-ahead Annual Exam Calendar on upsc.gov.in listing notification, application, and exam dates for all exams it conducts — go to upsc.gov.in, Examinations, then Calendar.
The UPSC Annual Exam Calendar is an official document listing the scheduled notification release dates, application deadlines, and exam dates for every examination UPSC conducts in the coming year. It is typically released around mid-May of the preceding year.
The UPSC Exam Calendar 2026 was officially published on 15 May 2025 and covers all major examinations scheduled for calendar year 2026, including CSE, IFoS, NDA (I and II), CDS (I and II), CAPF, Engineering Services Examination (ESE), Combined Medical Services (CMS), and several departmental/recruitment exams.
The UPSC Exam Calendar 2027 is expected to be published around May 2026.
How to access the official calendar:
- Visit upsc.gov.in
- Click on the 'Examinations' tab in the top navigation menu
- Select 'Exam Calendar' from the dropdown
- Download the annual calendar PDF for the relevant year
The calendar is published in English as a downloadable PDF. Aspirants should bookmark this page and check it at the start of each year, as UPSC may issue revised calendars if exam dates are rescheduled. Always rely on upsc.gov.in rather than coaching institute summaries for official dates.
