Aspiring civil servants, mark your calendars! The UPSC Civil Services 2025 interview schedule is out, and it’s a crucial milestone for hundreds of candidates. But here’s where it gets interesting: only 649 candidates have made it to this stage, and their journey to becoming India’s future administrators is about to take a decisive turn. The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has officially released the Personality Test (Interview) dates for the Civil Services (Main) Examination, and you can check them now on the official website, upsc.gov.in.
Interviews kick off on December 8, 2025, and will run until December 19, 2025. Candidates, take note: the forenoon session begins at 9 AM, while the afternoon session starts at 1 PM. And this is the part most people miss—e-Summon Letters for these interviews will be available shortly on the Commission’s website, so keep an eye out! Pro tip: Once you receive your letter, don’t even think about requesting a change in your interview date or time—it’s highly unlikely to be accommodated.
Controversial yet practical, UPSC will reimburse candidates’ travel expenses, but only for Second/Sleeper class train fare (Mail Express). Is this fair, or should aspirants be entitled to more? Let’s discuss in the comments!

1. Head to upsc.gov.in.
