According to the UPSC, the newly recommended candidates include 94 from the General category, 5 from the Economically Weaker Section (EWS), 13 from Other Backward Classes (OBC), and 1 each from the Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) categories. These candidates will be appointed to the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS), Indian Police Service (IPS), and various Central Services, Group ‘A’ and Group ‘B’.
