Candidates who successfully complete the preliminary exam must subsequently complete the Detailed Application Form-I (DAF-I). The DAF-I form is required for the next stage of the selection procedure. Following the publication of the results, UPSC will shortly issue additional instructions pertaining to the DAF-I submission procedure, due dates, and necessary documentation.
The One-Time Registration (OTR) technology was added to the application process this year. In order to be eligible to take any subsequent UPSC tests, candidates had to construct an OTR profile once.
