The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has asked Civil Services Examination (CSE) 2025, or the Indian Forest Service (IFS) Examination candidates to upload all the required documents by February 18 in the application form. The window to upload documents is open till February 18 at 6 PM.

The Commission has also extended the correction window between February 19 and 25. ” To avoid last-minute rush and complications, candidates are encouraged to have their required certificates ready and submit their applications well in advance,” read the notification.

Meanwhile, the Commission has introduced certain changes in its online application system for this year’s civil services preliminary exam after aspirants complained of technical glitches while applying through it, according to an official notice. It said that some entries have been made “editable” in the one-time registration for filling up of the online application.

Accordingly, editable entries in the OTR profile “until the final submission of application and thereafter during the correction window” include “Have you ever changed name?”, “Gender”, “Minority Status” and “Class 10th Board Examination Roll No.”, said the notice issued by the Commission.

The candidates are “not allowed to make any change(s) in the columns relating to “Name (as per Class X)”, “Date of Birth”, “Father’s Name”, “Mother’s Name”, “Mobile Number” and “Email ID” in the OTR profile, it said.

If a candidate has lost access to his/her registered mobile number but he/she has access to his/her registered email ID, he/she can apply for a change in the mobile number and in this case, an OTP will be sent to the registered email ID, the Commission said.

In case a candidate has lost access to his/her registered email ID but has access to his/her registered mobile number, he/she can apply for change in the email ID and in this case, an OTP will be sent to the registered mobile number, it said.
