Application Process

UPSC uses its online recruitment application system for this recruitment.

Candidates need to complete the required online registration and post-specific application details, upload the required documents and submit the final application within the prescribed time.

After submission, candidates should save the final application details and application number for future communication.

Selection Process

UPSC will shortlist candidates for interview using the information provided in their applications. Depending on the number of applications and the requirements of a post, the Commission may use higher qualifications, relevant experience, desirable qualifications or a Recruitment Test to reduce the number of candidates called for interview.

Candidates who receive an interview call must produce the required application printout and supporting documents at the interview stage.

The exact selection route can therefore vary by post and by the Commission’s decision.

Application Fee

The application fee is Rs. 25 for candidates who are not covered by the exemption.

Women candidates, SC candidates, ST candidates and Persons with Benchmark Disability candidates do not have to pay the application fee.

OBC, EWS and Unreserved male candidates are not exempt and must pay the prescribed fee.

Before You Apply

Do not select a post only because it has a large number of vacancies.

First check the required degree, experience, age limit and any post-specific conditions.

Candidates should also verify the closing date that applies to their selected post because the Ladakh vacancy follows a separate deadline.

After submitting the form, keep a copy of the final application and the details used during registration.
