The Sardar Patel Institute of Public Administration (SPIPA) has introduced weekly mock tests for candidates preparing for the UPSC Civil Services Preliminary Examination 2026 as part of its 2025–26 training program. Registration for these mock tests will commence on Friday.
Candidates who were previously enrolled at SPIPA’s training centers in Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Vadodara, Surat, Rajkot, and Mehsana, and have retained their deposit, can register online by presenting their original deposit receipt at the respective centers during office hours. External candidates, including those who previously withdrew their deposit or are not currently part of SPIPA’s training program, can also participate by paying a registration fee of Rs 1,000.
The registration fee must be paid via UPI by scanning the QR code on the SPIPA website. Following payment, candidates need to complete their registration by filling out the provided Google form online. The mock tests can be taken at any designated SPIPA regional center.
SPIPA has specified that the registration fee is non-refundable under any circumstances, and candidates must bring the original fee receipt on the examination day. This registration is solely for the UPSC Civil Services Prelims 2026 mock tests, and the entire process will be conducted online. This initiative aims to provide structured practice to UPSC aspirants across Gujarat to enhance their preparation.
