Selection Process :

Selection is by interview, or by a Recruitment Test (RT)/Combined Recruitment Test (CRT) followed by interview, depending on the number of applications received for a post. There is no fixed CBT syllabus published for these posts in the advertisement.

Where applications are numerous, UPSC may apply shortlisting criteria: higher desirable qualifications, higher-than-minimum educational qualification, higher-than-minimum relevant experience, experience before/after acquiring essential qualification, experience not otherwise prescribed, or a Recruitment Test

Minimum level of suitability at interview (out of 100 marks): UR–50, OBC–45, SC/ST/PH–40

Where an RT precedes the interview, candidates must clear the minimum suitability level at both stages; the RT qualifying level is decided case-by-case by UPSC

Where an RT/CRT is held, it will ordinarily be conducted at: Ahmedabad, Bhopal, Chennai, Delhi, Dispur (Guwahati), Jaipur, Jammu, Kochi, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, Nagpur, Port Blair, Ranchi, and Visakhapatnam (Leh/Kargil/Srinagar/Delhi for Ladakh UT posts)

Candidature is provisional at every stage; mere fulfilment of minimum qualification/experience does not guarantee a call for interview

Where sufficient eligible PwBD candidates are not available for exclusively-reserved posts, the experience requirement (years, not nature) may be relaxed up to 50%
