Civil Services Preliminary Examination 2010 - Application Acknowledgement

Correspondence with the Union Public Service Commission:

The UPSC Commission will not enter into any correspondence with the candidates about their candidature except in the following cases:

(i) Every candidate for this Civil Services Preliminary Examination will be informed at the earliest possible date of the result of his application. Admission certificates, indicating the Roll Nos. will be issued to the candidates who are admitted to the Civil Services Examination. The admission certificate will bear the photograph of the candidate.

If a candidate does not receive his admission certificate or any other communication regarding his candidature for the Civil Services Examination three weeks before the commencement of the examination, he should at once contact the Union Public Service Commission. On receipt of such a communication, Admission certificate or a duplicate copy thereto will be issued to the admitted candidate.

Information in this regard can also be obtained from the Facilitation Counter located in the UPSC Commission's Office either in person or over phone Nos. 011 - 23381125 / 23385271 / 23098543. In case no communication is received in the Commission's office from the candidate regarding non-receipt of his admission certificate atleast 3 weeks before the Civil Services Preliminary Examination, he himself will be solely responsible for non-receipt of his admission certificate.

It may be noted that the Admission Certificate will be issued at the address as photocopied from the Civil Services application form filled in by the candidate.

The candidate should, therefore, ensure that address given by him in the Civil Services application form is correct and complete with pin code.

No candidate will ordinarily be allowed to take the examination unless he holds a certificate of admission for the Civil Services Preliminary Examination.

On the receipt of Admission Certificate, check it carefully and bring discrepancies/erros, if any, to the notice of UPSC immediately.

The candidates should note that their admission to the Civil Services Preliminary Examination will be purely provisional based on the information given by them in the Civil Service application form. This will be subject to verification of all the eligibility conditions by the UPSC.

The mere fact that a certificate of admission to the Civil Services Examination has been issued to a candidate, will not imply that his candidature has been finally cleared by the Commission or that entries made by the candidate in his application for the Civil Services Preliminary Examination have been accepted by the UPSC Commission as true and correct.

Candidates may note that the Union Public Service Commission takes up the verification of eligibility conditions of a candidate, with reference to original documents, only after the candidate has qualified for Civil Services Main Examination. Unless candidature is formally confirmed by the Commission, it continues to be provisional.

The decision of the Union Public Service Commission as to the eligibility or otherwise of a candidate for admission to the Civil Services Examination shall be final.

Candidates should note that the name in the Admission Certificate in some cases, may be abbreviated due to technical reasons.

(ii) In the event of a candidate receiving more than one admission certificate from the UPSC Commission, he should use only one of these admission certificates for appearing in the Civil Services Preliminary Examination and return the other(s) to the Commission Office.

(iii) A candidate must see that communications sent to him at the address stated in his application are redirected, if necessary. Change in address should be communicated to the UPSC Commission at the earliest opportunity. Although the Commission make every effort to take account of such changes, they cannot accept any responsibility in the matter.

(iv) Candidates are informed that as the Civil Services Preliminary Examination is only a screening test, no marks sheets will be supplied to successful or unsuccessful candidates and no correspondence will be entertained by the Commission, in this regard.

(v) If a candidate receives an admission certificate in respect of some other candidate on account of handling error, the same should be immediately returned to the UPSC Commission with a request to issue the correct AC. Candidates may note that they will not be allowed to take the Civil Services Examination on the strength of an admission certificate issued in respect of another candidate.
