The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is accepting applications for its One Time Registration (OTR), a central level facility that lets a candidate register once and reuse the same profile for every UPSC exam applied to afterward. Registration opened on 18 August 2022 and has continued since, with no last date specified for closing it.

There is no fee for this registration, it is free of cost for General, OBC, EWS, SC and ST candidates alike. Since OTR does not carry an application deadline of its own, candidates can complete it at any time before applying to a specific UPSC exam.

Anyone planning to apply for a UPSC recruitment or exam going forward would need this one time registration done first, so it is worth completing well ahead of any particular notification rather than waiting until the last moment.

How to Apply

  1. 1Read the official notification carefully before you start, since it covers eligibility, age limit and vacancy details in more depth than any summary can.
  2. 2Open the "Apply Online" link on this page to go to Union Public Service Commission (UPSC)'s own application portal; applications submitted anywhere else won't be valid.
  3. 3Register with a working email address and mobile number, since the portal typically sends your login details and status updates to both.
  4. 4Fill in the form with your personal, educational and category details exactly as they appear on your certificates. A mismatch here is one of the most common reasons applications get rejected at verification.
  5. 5Upload your scanned photograph and signature in the exact format, dimensions and file size the notification specifies.
  6. 6Check every section of the completed form on the preview screen before you submit, since most portals don't allow edits afterward.
  7. 7Download or print the confirmation page once submission is complete; you'll likely need it again at the admit card or document verification stage.
