NEW DELHI: The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is conducting the CDS 2 2021 exam today across various centres in India. In order to avoid any untoward incident and ensure that the CDS exam is conducted in a free and transparent manner, the officials and guards at the exam centres thoroughly checked the admit card of the candidates. At the test centres the guard was seen asking the candidates to follow the COVID 19 protocol and maintain social distancing.

Some of the candidates who had arrived just at the time when the gate was closed, were not allowed to appear for the exam. Applicants who have been issued the CDS 2 2021 admit card are only eligible to appear for the CDS exam.

Guidelines followed at the CDS Exam Centres

All those appearing for the CDS exam were expected to go through the UPSC CDS exam day instructions that were mentioned on the question paper. Also candidates were asked to listen to the instructions with regard to their behavior in the exam hall. Any misbehaviour or indulgence in malpractices was supposed to be dealt strictly inside the exam hall.

Applicants must stay calm, hydrated and focused inorder to crack the CDS 2021 exam.
