UPSC changes online application system

To improve the registration and application process, UPSC has introduced a new online application platform. The new portal, available at upsconline.nic.in, has a four-part structure, allowing candidates to complete key steps ahead of specific exam notifications. The new system is now active.

Three of these—account creation, universal registration and common application form—can be filled by candidates at any time. The fourth section, called "Exams", will display exam-specific notices, application links and status updates, which candidates will have to fill only during the notification period of each exam.

The UPSC has clarified that the old One Time Registration (OTR) system has now been discontinued. All candidates need to create new profiles and upload documents.
