UPSC Civil Services Examination 2026 selects graduates for IAS, IPS, IFS, and other Group A and B services through Preliminary, Main, and Personality Test stages. Age limits, attempt counts, and optional subject rules are fixed in the annual notification. Register and apply on the UPSC online system linked from the Commission site.

These open the official portal in a new tab. HowDoI India does not host application forms or accept fees.
How to apply
This listing looks like an online application. Confirm on the official notice.
- Open the official notification and confirm eligibility, dates, and fees.
- Keep scanned documents ready exactly as the notice asks.
- Apply only on the official apply link (never through third-party forms).
- Save your application number or acknowledgement PDF.
- Recheck the official portal later for admit card or updates.
Before you apply
Treat this page as a discovery checklist, not the final rulebook. Boards change vacancy numbers, fees, centres, and last dates after the first notice goes up. Open the official notification linked above and read the eligibility table, age limits with category relaxations, and the exact documents list before you pay anything.
Prefer the organisation website named on the notice (UPSC, SSC, IBPS, RRB, PSC, or the recruiting ministry). Avoid WhatsApp or Telegram forms that ask for OTPs or fees outside the official payment gateway. If a site asks for money to "guarantee selection," leave immediately.
Check whether the post is online-only, offline, or either. Note the last date in Indian Standard Time as printed on the notice, not on third-party blogs. Category, PwBD, and ex-servicemen relaxations appear only in the official advertisement. If your degree or age sits near a cut-off, read that paragraph twice before you pay the fee.
Keep a folder with your application number, fee receipt, and a PDF of the notice you applied under. After you submit, watch the same official portal for admit cards, exam city intimation, and result links. HowDoI India does not host forms, collect fees, or shortlist candidates. When you are done here, use Search or the state hubs to find similar posts, then always finish on the official site. Print or save the notice PDF so you can match every claim against the original advertisement later.
