• Printout of the submitted Online Recruitment Application
• Photo ID proof (Aadhaar / Voter Card / PAN / Passport / Driving Licence)
• Date of birth certificate (Matriculation / SSC certificate)
• Educational qualification certificates (degree, diploma, mark sheets)
• Experience certificates from all previous/current employers
• Caste/Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EWS) in prescribed proforma from competent authority
• PwBD disability certificate (minimum 40% disability) in prescribed proforma
• Certificate for professional registration (where applicable, e.g. NMC/MCI registration for medical posts)
• Language/publication/NET/GATE/conference/internship certificates if claimed

• Documents in language other than Hindi/English must be accompanied by a transcript duly attested by a Gazetted Officer or Notary.

Common Mistakes to Avoid – UPSC Advt 07/2026 Application

• Applying for a post you do not meet the exact qualification for: UPSC shortlists strictly on the basis of declared qualifications. Applying with a “similar” or “equivalent” degree without a formal equivalence order from the competent authority is grounds for rejection. Produce the equivalence order if claiming an equivalent qualification.
• Entering an inactive or incorrect e-mail address: UPSC sends all interview schedules and document requirements exclusively by e-mail. A wrong email means you will miss the interview call entirely. Double-check before submitting.
• Submitting incomplete category documents later: All category-based claims (caste, disability, ex-serviceman) must be supportable at the interview stage with original documents in the prescribed UPSC proforma – not general certificates from hospitals or district offices.
• Not declaring government service: Persons already in regular government service must submit a declaration to UPSC that they have informed their Head of Office in writing. Omitting this can lead to disciplinary consequences.
• Attempting to withdraw the application after submission: UPSC explicitly states that candidates will not be allowed to withdraw their application once submitted. Apply only if you are genuinely eligible and intend to participate.
• Bringing a mobile phone to the exam/interview venue: Mobile phones and all electronic devices are strictly banned at UPSC examination/interview halls – even in switched-off mode. Violation results in debarment from future examinations.
• Waiting until the last day: The portal closes at exactly 1800 Hrs on 17 July 2026. Server congestion near the deadline is common. Complete your application at least 2–3 days in advance.
• Submitting documents in a language other than Hindi/English without a notarised transcript: Any certificate in a regional language must be accompanied by a transcript attested by a Gazetted Officer or Notary.
