Important

The Union Public Service Commission’s online application portal features four cards or modules for the purpose of registration and filling out online application forms. Three of these—namely: Account Creation, Universal Registration,

and the Common Application Form—are common or uniform across all recruitment applications handled by the Commission; candidates may complete these modules at any time.

Conversely, the fourth card or module is specific to a particular post or vacancy; it can only be completed within the stipulated timeframe mentioned in the notification

for the relevant post or vacancy. Applicants must apply online by utilizing the website https://upsconline.nic.in/ora/.
Once a candidate successfully completes the registration process on the online application portal, a ‘Universal Registration Number’ (URN) is generated for them; this number serves as a common or uniform identifier across all recruitment processes conducted by the Commission.

Upon completion of the specific application form for a recruitment drive, an ‘Application Number’ is generated. This number is unique to the specific post or vacancy applied for; for any future correspondence with the Commission, applicants must carefully preserve this ‘Application Number’ alongside their ‘URN’.

It is pertinent to note that the ‘URN’ will always remain unique and immutable; conversely, the nature of the ‘Application Number’ is dynamic—meaning that this number will vary for each distinct post applied for.

To assist candidates in filling out the application forms and uploading the requisite documents, detailed instructions have been provided on the portal’s Home Page as well as within each individual module.

To ensure that the entire process of filling out the application form and uploading documents proceeds without any hindrance, candidates are advised to first read these instructions with the utmost attention and to keep all necessary documents prepared in advance.

Applicants are strongly advised to use their ‘Aadhaar Card’ as their identity document (ID) to ensure that the process of verifying and authenticating their identity and other details remains simple, hassle-free, and seamless.

The closing date and time for submission of Online Recruitment Applications through the website is 18:00 hours on 01-05-2026.

The prescribed closing date for the submission of Online Recruitment Applications shall be treated as the date for determining the eligibility of all candidates in all respects.

Applicants are advised to fill in all their personal details in the Online Recruitment Application with extreme care; as the submission of incorrect information may lead to the rejection of the application through the computer-based shortlisting process, in addition to the imposition of a debarment from appearing in future examinations by the Commission.

The date of the Interview will be intimated separately later; on the said date, shortlisted candidates must appear before the UPSC along with print-out copies of their online applications and other necessary documents.

Note: In the case of a candidate for whom a ‘Certificate of Eligibility’ is mandatory, their application may be considered by the Commission; and if they are recommended for appointment, a provisional appointment may be granted to them, subject to the issuance of the requisite certificate in their favor by the Government of India.

B. Age Limit: The prescribed age limit for this post is specified in the advertisement itself. To learn about specific age-related concessions or benefits applicable to candidates belonging to various categories, please refer to the instructions regarding ‘Concessions & Relaxations’.

Note-I: The prescribed essential qualifications constitute merely a minimum standard; the mere possession of these qualifications does not entitle a candidate to be called for an interview.

Note-II: If the number of applications received is excessively high, the Commission may adopt ‘short-listing’ or screening criteria with a view to restricting the number of candidates to be invited for an interview within a reasonable limit. This screening process may be accomplished through one or more of the following methods:

They are further requested to read the detailed particulars regarding the posts and the instructions published below and on the website https://upsconline.nic.in/ora/ with utmost care.

SC/ST/OBC/PwBD candidates must submit a caste certificate prepared in the prescribed proforma. For information regarding age relaxations or concessions applicable to other categories of applicants, please refer to the relevant paragraphs of the document titled “Instructions and Additional Information to Candidates for Recruitment by Selection.”

d) As indicated against various posts in the ‘VACANCY DETAILS’ section, ‘Persons with Benchmark Disabilities’ (PwBD) may apply for the respective posts—even if a post is not reserved for them—provided that the post has been identified as suitable for them. However, such candidates shall be considered for selection to the said posts based on general merit standards.

Only those individuals possessing a minimum degree of disability of 40% or more in the relevant category shall be eligible to avail the benefits of reservation and other concessions/relaxations as permissible under the rules.

This relaxation shall apply to the number of years of experience, not to the nature of the experience.

f) Headquarters:  At the specific location explicitly mentioned against certain posts; otherwise, anywhere in India.

g) Probation:  Selected candidates shall be appointed on probation in accordance with the rules.
