The decision was taken on Thursday on the initiative of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who had taken cognizance of protests by the aspiring candidates earlier.
The candidates had staged protests over the scheduling of the PCS and other selection exams, urging the commission to conduct the PCS Preliminary Examination in a single day instead of multiple shifts.
Mr Yogi directed the UPPSC to engage in dialogue with the aspirants and take appropriate action. Following this, the commission decided to hold the Provincial Civil Services (PCS) Preliminary Examination 2024 on a single day, as done previously.
