Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is going to conduct the UPSC ESE 2022 examination on February 20, 2022. Today, the commission released the timetable for the same. As per the timetable, paper 1 will be held from 10 am to 12 noon, and paper 2 will be held from 3 pm to 5 pm.
With less than 4 weeks left for the preliminary examination, the candidates are anxiously searching for any official cue of the admit card release date. Therefore, to help our readers we have analysed the past year admit card release dates and predicted when to expect this year’s IES admit card 2022.
UPSC is most likely to release the ESE 2022 admit card on January 27, 2022. This is because past year trends show that UPSC usually releases the IES admit card 24 to 25 days before the exam. This year the exam is on February 20, 2022. And 24-25 days before that means either January 26, 2022, or January 27, 2022. The former being a gazetted holiday, it is unlikely for UPSC to issue hall tickets on that day. Thus January 27, 2022 is the most probable date of the admit card release.
UPSC ESE Admit Card Release Date of Past 5 Years
We have compiled the last five years data for the UPSC ESE admit card release dates and compared it with the actual exam date. Check out the complete comparison of admit card release date with exam date of last five years in the space below:
| Year | Admit Card Release Date | Exam Date | Days Gap |
| 2021 | June 24, 2021 | July 18, 2021 | 24 days |
| 2019-20 | December 11, 2019 | January 05, 2020 | 25 days |
| 2018 | December 12, 2018 | January 06, 2019 | 25 days |
| 2017 | December 17, 2017 | January 07, 2018 | 25 days |
With the above table, it is clear that the UPSC releases the ESE admit card at least 25 days before the actual exam date. Since, this year the exam is scheduled for January 20, 2022, hence we might get to see the UPSC ESE admit card on January 25 or 26, 2022. However, in the absence of any official notification with regards to the admit card release date, these are mere speculations and candidates are advised to keep a track of the official website of UPSC for any latest update regarding UPSC ESE 2022.
