Frequently asked questions
How do I find the official UPSC exam date?
UPSC publishes exact Prelims and Mains dates in its official notification, released around January–February each year, and on the UPSC website's exam calendar. Use the Exam Calendar tool for the typical yearly sequence while you wait for the official notification.
Can I use this countdown for exams other than UPSC?
Yes — the countdown works for any date you enter, so it's useful for tracking days remaining to any exam, not just UPSC CSE.
Does the countdown keep running if I close the tab?
No — the countdown recalculates live only while this page is open. Bookmark this page and set your exam date again if you return later; your input isn't saved between visits.
