Important

Applicants are advised to be careful enough while submitting their

application to the Commission so that chances of their applications being
rejected are minimized to the best possible extent and their effort is not lost due
to the reasons which can be avoided by them if they remain slightly more
careful. Applicants are, therefore, requested to note that before filling the online
application they may have a careful look on the common reasons where an
applicant’s online application is being rejected by the Commission.

The Experience of Commission (UPSC) shows that major rejection happens due
to the following reasons:
(a) Application being rejected on the grounds of bad quality of submitted
photograph.

(b) Application being rejected on the grounds of bad quality of submitted

signature.

(c) Application being rejected on the grounds of swapping of photograph with

that of signature.

(d) Only PART-I of the application is submitted to the Commission and thus
their application is incomplete because of non-submission of PART-II.

(e) Fee Payment details against one Application No. has been submitted to
another Application No. (Fee once paid against single Application No. is not
allowed to be adjusted against another Application No.).

(f) Applicant having submitted PART-I, but failing to complete Part 2 of the
application. Applicant must complete part 2 of the application by uploading
appropriate photograph and signature, paying admissible fee and giving his
choice of examination centre.

(g) Application being rejected on the grounds of non submission of payment

proof to the Commission within specified time in case of fictitious payment cases
(which are intimated to the applicant through e-mail as well as published on the
website of the Commission in due course). Fictitious payment cases are those
cases for which the Commission does not receive any information from the bank
authorities to which the applicant has claimed to have deposited his/her fees.
