How many times can you take the UPSC exam?

How are UPSC Attempts Measured?
Even after filling the UPSC Prelims exam form, if you do not appear for the exam, it will not be considered an attempt. But if you have given UPSC prelims exam then it will be considered as an attempt. After qualifying, even if the candidate does not appear in the main examination, he/she will be counted in the attempt. As soon as a candidate appears in a paper of the Civil Services Pre-examination, one of his attempts will be wasted. If a candidate is disqualified for any reason or his candidature is canceled during the examination, he will still be deemed to have attempted.
