Apply online for all UPSC examinations

The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), the country’s biggest recruitment agency, has decided to introduce the system of online submission of applications for all the competitive examinations it conducts.

“ Many candidates have started applying online for the UPSC examinations notified during 2010. Though this facility is in addition to the option of submitting paper applications already available, the prospective candidates are encouraged to prefer the online mode,” an official release said on Wednesday.

Besides the civil services exams, the UPSC conducts tests for entry to the engineering, forest and defence and other services. “ Applying online spares one of many hassles,” the commission said.
