The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has declared the results of the Civil Services Examination (CSE) Mains 2025, shortlisting 2,736 candidates for the Personality Test (Interview) round. The much-awaited results were released on the Commission’s official website — upsc.gov.in in the form of a roll number–wise PDF list.
The Mains examination was conducted between August 22 and August 31, 2025, across multiple centers in India. Candidates who have successfully cleared this stage will now proceed to the final and most crucial part of the selection process — the Personality Test, to be held at UPSC’s Dholpur House office in New Delhi.
Interview Stage Ahead
According to the official notification, the shortlisted candidates will soon receive their e-summon letters for the interview round through the UPSC website. The Personality Test carries 275 marks and aims to assess the overall personality, mental alertness, judgment, and ethical integrity of candidates — key attributes for a future civil servant.
The Commission has also advised candidates to keep all original documents ready for verification, including educational certificates, age proof, and community or category certificates for OBC, SC, ST, EWS, and PwBD candidates as applicable.
