Mains 2021: Doubt and strategy discussion thread

hello, I filled form with ews category but my certificate has issue date after 3rd march 2020 as prescribed by upsc. Now can't submit the form becuase of this. I know this is very rare issue but is anybody else facing the similar issue be it ews or other category? If yes then reply please. will I be given chance to be considered as unreserved provided I am sure I have cleared cut off of unreserved category.

@dev_kurmi12857 they didn't ask for particular date of issuing for ews certificate in applictaion form of prelims itself as far as i can remember. Though might have been the case for obc and other categories.

I think for ews what matters is the financial year for which the certificate was issued. I think it should clearly mention you are ews as per income asset certificate for 2018-19. Rest you can ask upsc.

all other criterias including financial year etc are properly fulfiled.

​it says certificate should be dated earlier than last date of prelims application (03.03.2020). this is prelims notification.

yes..it says so but i applied after notification came and i got my certificate issued on 20th march. maybe cat can rescue me.

@मुसाफिर There is no harm in trying but it would be better if you first clarify from UPSC by calling them. I am not really sure about the date thing. I just got to know about the case when Mains result was delayed. You can check this year's notification if it mentions anything about the certificate date. Last year was the first time this was introduced so they asked for certificates dated till August. This time you have to check the notification or call them. If nothing works, CAT can be the last resort.


yes..thinking same..thanx for the advice.
