Frequently asked questions
How are candidates shortlisted for the interview round?
UPSC screens candidates based on qualifications, relevant experience length, and marks obtained in qualifying degrees. If application numbers are manageable, shortlisted individuals go straight to the interview board. When candidate volume is heavy, the Commission conducts a written recruitment screening test to shortlist candidates.
Can final year students apply for these UPSC posts?
No. All applicants must possess the complete educational qualification and any mandatory post-qualification work experience on or before the closing date. Applications lacking final degree certificates or required experience proofs will face summary rejection during scrutiny.
What is the application fee and who gets an exemption?
Male candidates belonging to General, OBC, and EWS categories must pay an application fee of ₹25. All women applicants, as well as candidates from SC, ST, and Persons with Benchmark Disabilities categories, are completely exempt from paying any application fee.
Is there negative marking if UPSC conducts a screening test?
Yes. When UPSC conducts a recruitment test for shortlisting, objective multiple-choice question papers carry negative marking. Every incorrect answer deducts one-third of the marks assigned to that specific question. Unattempted questions do not attract penalty marks.
What pay scale applies to Assistant Executive Engineer and Research Officer posts?
Both Assistant Executive Engineer and Research Officer positions are placed in Pay Level-10 of the 7th CPC matrix. This corresponds to an entry basic pay of ₹56,100 per month, supplemented by standard Dearness Allowance, House Rent Allowance, and Transport Allowance.
