UPPSC aspirants protest news: Demanding exams to be held on a single shift, thousand of students protested against the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission’s (UPPSC) decision to hold PCS Pre and Review Officer/Assistant Review Officer (RO/ARO) examinations on different dates and multiple shifts.
