COIMBATORE, May 26, 2025 – The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) examination held in Coimbatore on Sunday saw a significantly lower-than-expected turnout, with only 62.05% of registered candidates participating. Of the 7,068 students scheduled to appear at the 17 designated examination centers across the city, only 4,386 actually took the exam.

While the majority (13) of the centers recorded attendance rates exceeding 60%, the overall figure points to potential challenges in candidate participation. The reasons behind the low turnout remain unclear.
