4. Upload photo and signature as per the specified format on the portal.

5. Confirm the declaration that your photo and signature are accurate, then review all entered details on screen.

6. Tick the final declaration and click Final Submit. You cannot edit any data after this except during the correction window.

Details You’ll Need Handy

Before starting your application, keep the following ready — this is data-entry information, not documents to upload:

1. Mobile number and email ID you can access (your mobile number cannot be changed once registered)

2. High School and Intermediate marksheet details, for education entry.

3. Graduation degree/marksheet details.

4. Passport-size photograph and signature, scanned to the exact size specified on the application portal.

5. Category details, if you’re claiming SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PWD reservation.

Note: Certificates themselves (education, category, domicile, PWD) are not uploaded at this stage. They’re required later, only if you qualify the Main Examination, to be submitted to the Commission when asked.

“Once you clear Prelims, refer to the UKPSC Mains Syllabus to begin Mains preparation.”

Application Fee
