Why upsc has stopped the exam.

Exams Planner - December 24, 2018REPLY

The SCRA exam was discontinued as the Commission already holds the Engineering Services Examination for recruitment in the Indian Railway Services, it was of the thought that conducting a separate exam (SCRA) only for selecting 30 candidates was a ?disproportionate effort?. The Ministry of Railway agreed on this.
