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

(i) Every candidate for this examination will be informed at the earliest possible date of the result of his application. Admission certificates, indicating the Roll Nos. and centre will be issued to the candidates who are admitted to the 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 examination one month before the commencement of the examination, he should at once contact the Commission. On receipt of such a communication, Admission Certificate or a duplicate copy thereof will be issued to the admitted candidate. Information in this regard can also be obtained from the Facilitation Counter located in the Commissions office either in person or over phone Nos. 011-23385271/011-23381125/011-23098543. 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 examination, he himself will be solely responsible for non-receipt of his admission certificate. No candidate will ordinarily be allowed to take the examination unless he holds a certificate of admission for the examination. On the receipt of Admission certificate, candidates should check it carefully and bring discrepencies/errors if any, to the notice of UPSC immediately.

The mere fact that a certificate of admission to the 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 examination have been accepted by the Commission as true and correct. Candidates may note that the Commission takes up the verification of eligibility conditions of a candidate, with reference to original documents, only after the candidate has qualified for interview for Personality Test on the results of the Written Examination. Unless candidature is formally confirmed by the Commission, it continues to be provisional. The decision of the Commission as to the eligibility or otherwise of a candidate for admission to the 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 Commission, he should use only one of these admission certificates for appearing in the 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 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) If a candidate receives an admission certificate in respect of some other candidate on account of processing error, the same should be immediately returned to the Commission with a request to issue the correct AC. Candidates may note that they will not be allowed to take the examination on the strength of an admission certificate issued in respect of another candidate.

Important : All communications to the Commission should invariably contain the following parti-culars.

N.B. : (i) Communication not containing the above particulars may not be attended to.

N.B. : (ii) If a letter/communication is received from a candidate after an examination has been held and it does not give his full name and Roll number, it will be ignored and no action will be taken thereon.
