No, I have submitted photo without name and date mentioned, and I have filled the form on 14th Feb , but i have to correct the photo on 6th March,, so I am confused what date should I mention on photo, before 14th Feb or before 6th March.
U can put 10th or 11th February ( before 14th feb ), because u have already submitted ur application form ,only thing is that u r editing ur photo na .
Those who wear specs had to upload the photograph wearing them?
Also My CGPA is 7.47 and if I round it off to 75, is that okay?
My obc caste certificate hasn't been updated yet and it will take time.so if I fill form with general category will I be allowed to modify it later?
Hi ,
If the category indicated by a candidate in the application form for any Examination of the Commission is Unreserved/General category but the candidate subsequently writes to the Commission to change the category to a reserved one i.e. OBC, such request is not entertained by the Commission.

@DM @Neyawn sir, in my application, i have mistakenly filled SDM as the issuing authority of my EWS certificate, but my certificate was actually issued by a SDO. A friend of mine in the service, said both SDM and SDO are same in Bihar( i am from Bihar), and he himself chose SDM as the issuing authority even though even his certificate was issued by SDO, and the drop down menu in the UPSC application form had SDO as an option as well.Will i be allowed to change the issuing authority in the correction window? and if yes, should i change it, or should i leave it as is?
