Selection Process

  1. Minimum level of suitability at interview (out of 100 marks): UR–50, OBC–45, SC/ST/PH–40
  2. Where an RT precedes the interview, candidates must clear the minimum suitability level at both stages; the RT qualifying level is decided case-by-case by UPSC
  3. Candidature is provisional at every stage; mere fulfilment of minimum qualification/experience does not guarantee a call for interview

How to Apply

  1. Visit upsconline.nic.in and create an account, if not already registered.
  2. Complete Universal Registration (generates a Universal Registration Number, or URN, common across all UPSC recruitments) and the Common Application Form (CAF).
  3. Fill the post/vacancy-specific fourth module for the post you are applying to; this generates a post-specific Application Number.
  4. Upload your photograph and capture a live photo as part of the CAF; sign three times on plain white paper in black ink and upload the signature.
  5. Upload supporting documents separately against each claim (date of birth, category, qualification, experience, etc.) as individual PDFs – do not upload pay slips, resumes, appointment/relieving letters, or unsigned experience certificates in this module.
  6. Pay the application fee of ₹25 online (Visa/Master/RuPay Card, UPI, or net banking), if applicable to your category.
  7. Review all entries carefully – no correction, alteration, or withdrawal is allowed after final submission.
  8. Submit before the closing date: 16 October 2026, 1800 hrs.
  9. Take a printout of the finally submitted application; you are not required to send this to UPSC by post, but must bring it (with original documents) if called for interview.
