Latest Update: UPSC modified the number highlighting the total vacancies, and added 150 vacancies in the IRMS category. CSE 2022 will now be conducted for a total of 1011 vacancies.

On 2nd February UPSC released the 2022 edition of the UPSC CSE. In the notification, it is highlighted that a total of 861 vacancies will be filled this year.

Now about the 2021 notification, I have already mentioned in the sections above that 712 vacancies were announced in the UPSC recruitment memo for the various civil services posts in 2021. In general, every annual UPSC recruitment memo announces a vacancy strength of 700 to 900+ for such posts.
