Frequently asked questions
Can candidates in their final semester apply for these posts?
No. All academic qualifications and mandatory post-qualification work experience must be complete on or before the closing date of 12 Nov 2026. Applications showing result awaited or incomplete internships will be rejected during preliminary document scrutiny without correspondence.
Will there be negative marking if a written test is conducted?
Yes. If UPSC decides to conduct a computer-based recruitment test to shortlist candidates for interviews, there will be negative marking. Every incorrect answer results in a deduction of one-third of the marks allotted to that specific question. Unattempted questions incur no penalty.
Can an applicant submit forms for more than one vacancy?
Yes, candidates can apply for multiple positions if they satisfy the prescribed eligibility criteria for each role. However, separate online recruitment applications must be submitted for each post, accompanied by the individual application fee where applicable.
What documents must be presented at the time of the interview?
Shortlisted candidates must bring self-attested copies along with original certificates proving date of birth, educational degrees, caste or community status, experience letters from past employers, and government-issued photo identification to Dholpur House on the interview day.
Is the non-creamy layer OBC certificate subject to a specific date?
OBC candidates must produce a valid certificate indicating their non-creamy layer status based on the preceding three financial years. The certificate must be issued by a competent revenue authority and remain valid on the final application closing date.
