I mistakenly filled wrong number of attempts in the ifos section. Wanted to check if that section will be editable later on during the correction window or should I fill an application from scratch? Or if there is any other option available beside the two.
Even I did the same mistake. What's your next step if you know any info just let us know, I don't know what to do
Divya_manjari,
I mistakenly enter the number if attempts wrongly in IFOS section. What can i do now?
If you can make a fresh registration/edit it, make one. Or else submit it .
Then follow this
1. Write a letter to Under Secy, UPSC
2. State that bonafide mistake has been made
3. Scan and send the copy by email
4. Send the print out with signature by post to UPSC ( speed post )
5. Retain the speed post slip as proof of act
