- One advertisement, twelve separate vacancies across eight ministries and departments. You apply to each vacancy separately — every one has its own vacancy number, its own age limit and its own qualification.
- UR is unreserved. The reservation column is the notification's own; it sums to 40, the same as the post column.

- Summed from the twelve reservation blocks printed against each vacancy. The advertisement does not print this consolidated table; it reconciles to the same 40 as the post-wise column above.
Who can apply
- There is no single eligibility rule — each of the twelve posts has its own. Read the row for the post you want in the post list on this page.
- Qualifications range from a bachelor's degree (Agricultural Engineer, Assistant Industrial Adviser, Veterinary Assistant Surgeon), through a recognised MBBS (Civilian Medical Officer), a degree in Unani Medicine with enrolment on the Central or a State Register of Indian Medicine (Medical Officer, Ayush), a master's in the relevant science (Scientist 'B'), up to MBBS plus a post-graduate degree in
- Most posts also require experience — two years for Agricultural Engineer, three years for Scientist 'B' and Assistant Industrial Adviser.
- Upper age limits run from 33 to 43 years depending on the post and category, and are further relaxable by up to 10 years for PwBD candidates.
- ⚠️ Your age and every other eligibility condition are judged as on 14 August 2026, the closing date — not as on the date you apply.
- UPSC may relax the qualifications at its own discretion, in writing, for a candidate who is otherwise well qualified.
How you are selected
- Recruitment is by selection: either by interview alone, or by a Recruitment Test followed by an interview. Which route applies is decided by the Commission for each vacancy.
- If the number of applications is large, UPSC shortlists — on desirable qualifications, on higher qualifications or experience than the minimum, or by holding a Recruitment Test. Enter every qualification and all your experience in the form, not just the minimum.
- Minimum level of suitability in the interview is 50 marks for UR, 45 for OBC and 40 for SC/ST/PH, out of 100. Where a Recruitment Test is held you must clear the minimum at both stages.
- Recruitment Test centres, where a test is held: Ahmedabad, Bhopal, Chennai, Delhi, Dispur (Guwahati), Jaipur, Jammu, Kochi, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, Nagpur, Port Blair, Ranchi and Visakhapatnam. The list can change.
- The interview date is not in the advertisement and will be intimated separately.
How to apply
- Apply online at https://upsconline.nic.in/ora/ — the Online Recruitment Application portal. It is the only route in this advertisement.
- The portal has four modules. Account creation, Universal Registration and the Common Application Form are shared across all UPSC recruitments and can be filled any time; the fourth is specific to the vacancy and can only be filled inside the application window.
- Registering generates a Universal Registration Number (URN), which stays the same for every UPSC recruitment. Submitting the vacancy-specific form generates an Application Number, which is different for every post. Keep both.
- Applications opened on 25 July 2026 and close at 1800 Hrs on 14 August 2026.
- ⚠️ Applying to more than one of the twelve posts means a separate application for each vacancy number.
Fee
- ₹25 for General/UR, EWS and OBC male candidates, payable by Visa/Master/RuPay credit or debit card, UPI, or net banking.
- No fee at all for SC, ST and PwBD candidates, and for women candidates of any community.
- ⚠️ There is NO fee exemption for OBC or EWS male candidates — they pay the full ₹25. An application without the prescribed fee is rejected summarily and no appeal is entertained.
- Payment must be made by the closing date and time. Fee once paid is not refunded.
