Impact of Covid-19 on Government Examinations
The outbreak of the killer Covid-19 virus has sent the entire world in a pandemic of enormous scale. India too has been affected by the virus on a wide scale. As soon as cases started emerging in India, the government proactively closed down schools and colleges to put a pause on the spread of the virus. However, situations escalated very quickly as the number of confirmed Covid-19 cases and casualties started increasing. Currently, the government has imposed a lockdown in the entire nation to prevent social gatherings and the spread of the virus.
Several government recruitment examinations have been postponed or rescheduled in India in the last two to three weeks. As people are stuck within their homes, there is no way that any government body or recruiting agency can organize selection tests without the risk of the spread of the virus. Therefore, most government jobs examinations have been indefinitely postponed in India.

How to use the lockdown period for focused study?
Although aspirants of various government exams are left to wonder about when they will be able to appear for respective examinations, it is during this lockdown period, that candidates can study without distractions. Like every cloud has a silver lining, candidates must look at the brighter side of the lockdown i.e. the extended time to prepare for exams.

However, this time, candidates can utilize the opportunity to stay in the security of their homes and prepare for upcoming exams in complete solitude.
It is, however, important that candidates must take care of their health first. Without being fit and fine, there is no point in studying for the exam. Therefore, follow the basic prevention tips given below to stay safe as India fights the Covid-19 virus.
