Conceding the demand of civil services aspirants for more time to adapt to the changes effected in the Civil Services examination pattern in March 2013, the government on Monday approved two additional attempts for all candidates with effect from the current year.
This is the celebration time for civil service exam aspirants. The Centre on Monday decided to let them have two additional attempts from this year.
The Centre approved “two additional attempts to all categories of candidates with effect from Civil Services Examination, 2014, with consequential relaxation of maximum age for all categories of candidates, if required,” an official statement said. A general category candidate can now appear for the Civil Services Examination six times, while an OBC candidate can have nine attempts.

Though for full confirmation you have to wait for some update/press release to come on upsc.gov.in/.
The Centre ratified the age relaxation for the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) examination this year.
