The UPSC has advised applicants to carefully review the eligibility criteria, educational qualifications, age limits, and work experience requirements specified for each post before submitting their applications. Since the eligibility conditions differ across positions, candidates are encouraged to verify all requirements through the official recruitment notification before applying.

The Commission has also instructed candidates to complete the application process through the ORA portal well before the closing date to avoid last-minute technical issues. Applicants are required to upload the necessary documents and provide accurate information, as discrepancies may lead to the rejection of their applications during the scrutiny process.
