Important

Applicants are 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. Applicants are therefore advised to be careful enough 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 while submitting their application to 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. Sample 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

(b)         Application being rejected on the grounds of bad quality of submitted signature. Sample 1 2 3 4

(c)         Application being rejected on the grounds of swapping of photograph with that of signature. Sample 1

(d)         Application rejected due to submission of photograph only, i.e no signature submitted or photograph submitted at the place of signature as well. Sample 1

(e)         Application rejected due to submission of signature only, i.e no photograph submitted or signature submitted at the place of photograph as well. Sample 1

(f)           Only PART-I of the application is submitted to the Commission and thus their application is incomplete because of non-submission of PART-II. Sample 1

(h)         Applicant submitted PART-I and paid fee as well, but did/could not complete PART-II i.e. failed to submit photograph and signature. Sample1

* RID is Registration ID, which is generated by the system when the applicant completes PART-I registration of his application.
** TID is Transaction ID, which is given by Bank official when the applicant deposits his/her fee through "cash" mode and it is automatically generated when "Internet Banking" or "credit/debit card " mode is used for making the fee payment.
***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.
