    Dear Friend,
    I will give you some important information about the question you asked.
    The moment you go inside the preliminary exam hall and sign the attendance sheet, your trail is counted (it doesn't matter if you fail or pass).
    If you only fill up the form but don't go in the exam hall, your attempt is NOT COUNTED.

    Keep record of everything from hall ticket to form number as they will be useful for future purpose.


    Number of Limits:

    1. General : 04
    2. SC/ST : Unlimited until they reach the maximum age.
    3. OBC : 07

    For PH :

    1. General : 07
    2. OBC : 07
    3. SC/ST : unlimited till their maximum age.

    Best of Luck

    The number of attempts is different for different exams of UPSC. UPSC does not have same rules for all the examinations as every post requires different criterias.
    For NDA,CDS,SCRA there is no limit on attempts and one can apply as long as the age limit is not crossed.
    For Civil services exam, Engg Services exam,Forest Services exam there is limit on attempts.
    Following are the attempts based on category for Civil Services exam(commonly known as IAS exam by peoples),Engg Services,Forest Services:
    4 for General
    7 for OBC
    Unlimited within age limit of 35years for SC/ST

    Friend, there is the provision of fixed number of attempts for each category except Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe in Civil Service Examination. A a general rule, only 07 attempts are permissible for Open Category. For OBC category, only seven attempts are permissible. While Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe categories enjoy the benefit of unlimited number of attempts. So it is advisable for the candidates that they should prepare themself properly in order to utilise every attempts. Don't take any attempts lighly. Every attempts must be taken seriously and put his/her full efforts.

    UPSC is not an exam.It is a commission which conducts exams.There are several exams conducted by UPSC for matriculates to Ph.D candidates every year.You need to specify the name of the exam to know about the details.If you are concerned about Civil services,then the number of attempts for that is 4 for General category within the age limit of 21-30years.It is same for Engineering services as well as forest services.
