UPSC Introduces 'Centre of Choice' for Disabled Candidates
The UPSC, which conducts big exams for government jobs, has made a new rule.
Now, people with disabilities who take these exams can choose where they want to take the test.
This is to help them because traveling to exam places can be hard for them.
The UPSC will make sure there are enough exam centres so no one is turned away from their chosen place.
This change is meant to make things fairer and easier for people with disabilities.
