UPSC Introduces Changes Amidst Candidate Glitches

The UPSC has modified its online application process for the civil services preliminary exam 2025, addressing various issues faced by aspirants. These changes include making certain fields editable during one-time registration. The application deadline is extended to February 18, 2025, with exams scheduled for May 25, 2025.

The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has responded to complaints from aspirants by introducing changes in its online application system for the 2025 civil services preliminary exam. According to an official notice, these modifications follow a series of technical glitches that affected applicants.

The Commission has extended the application deadline to February 18, 2025, providing more time for candidates to submit their materials. Certain fields in the one-time registration process will now be editable, but crucial information such as the candidate's name and birth date cannot be altered.

This decision was prompted in part by issues such as candidates losing access to registered emails or mobile numbers. The preliminary examination is slated for May 25, expecting to offer 979 positions, with specific provisions for PwBD candidates needing a scribe.
