the link will be disabled.

7. CORRESPONDENCE WITH COMMI-SSION :

The Commission will not enter into anycorrespondence with the candidates about

their candidature except in the followingcases :

(i) The eligible candidates shall be is-sued an e-Admission Certificate threeweeks before the commencement of

the examination. The e-AdmissionCertificate will be made available inthe UPSC website [www.upsc.gov.in] for downlading by candidates.No Admission Certificate will be sent

by post.

(ii) If a candidate does not receive his/here-admit card or any other communi-cation regarding his/her candidaturefor the examination one week before

the commencement of the examina-tion, he/she should at once contact theCommission. Information in this regardcan also be obtained from the Facilita-tion Counter located in the

Commissions Office either in personor over phone Nos. 011-23381125/

011-23385271/011-23098543. Incase no communication is receivedin the Commissions Office from the

candidate regarding non-receipt ofhis/her e-Admission Certificate at-least one week before the examina-tion, he/she himself/herself will besolely responsible for non-receipt of

his/her e-Admission Certificate.

No candidate will ordinarily be al-lowed to take the examination unlesshe/she holds e-Admission Certificatefor the examination. On receipt of e-

Admission Certificate, check it care-fully and bring discrepancies/errors,if any, to the notice of UPSC immedi-ately.

The candidates should note that their

admission to the examination will bepurely provisional based on the in-formation given by them in the Appli-cation Form. This will be subject toverification of all the eligibility condi-

tions by the UPSC.

(iii) The mere fact that an e-AdmissionCertificate of admission to the Exami-nation has been issued to a candi-date will not imply that his/her candi-

dature has been finally cleared by theCommission, or that the entries madeby the candidate in his/her applica-

tion for the Examination have beenaccepted by the Commission as trueand correct. Candidates may note

that the Commission takes up the veri-fication of eligibility conditions of acandidate, with reference to originaldocuments, only after the candidate

has qualified for Interview or Person-ality Test on the result of the writtenpart of the examination. Unless can-didature is formally confirmed by theCommission, it continues to be provi-

sional.

The decision of the Commission asto the acceptance of the applicationof a candidate and his/her eligibilityor otherwise for admission to the Ex-

amination shall be final. Candidatesshould note that the name in the Ad-mission Certificate, in some casesmay be abbreviated due to technicalreasons.

(iv) If a candidate receives an e-Admis-sion Certificate in respect of someother candidate on account of han-dling error, the same should be im-mediately brought to the notice ofCommission with a request to issuethe correct e-Admission Certificate.Candidates may note that they willnot be allowed to take the examina-tion on the strength of an e-Admis-sion Certificate issued in respect ofanother candidate.

How to fill in the Answer Sheet of objective type tests in the Examination Hall

Please follow these instructions very careful ly. You may note that since the Answer Sheets are tobe evaluated on machine, any violation of these instructions may result in reduction of your scorefor which you would yourself be responsible.

dsU fo"k; fo"k; dksM vuqekadvuqekadvuqekadvuqekadvuqekadCentre Subject S. Code Roll Number

If you are, say, appearing for the examination in Delhi Centre for the General Studies Paper andyour Roll No. is 081276 and your Test Booklet series is A', you should fill in thus, using ball pen.

*This is just illustrative and may not be relevant to the Examination concerned.

dsU fo"k; fo"k; dksM vuqekadvuqekadvuqekadvuqekadvuqekadCentre Delhi Subject General S. Code Roll Number

Studies (A)

You should write with black/blue ball pen the name of the centre and subject in English or Hindi.

The test Booklet Series is incidated by Alphabets A, B, C, or D at the top right hand corner of theBooklet.

Write your Roll Numbers exactly as it is in your Admission Certificate in the boxes provided for thispurpose. Do not omit any zero(s) which may be there.

The next step is to find out the approriate subject code from the Time Table. Now encode the TestBooklet Series, Subject Code and the Roll Number in the circles provided for this purpose. Do theencoding with black/blue ball pen. The name of the Centre need not be encoded.

Writing and encoding of Test Booklet Series is to be done after receiving the Test Booklet andconfirming the Booklet Series from the same.

For General Ability subject paper of A' Test Booklet Series you have to encode the subject code,which is 99. Do it thus.

iqfLrdkeeeee fo"k;Booklet Series (A) Subject 9 9

All that is required is to blacken completely the circle marked A'below the Booklet Series and below the subject code blackencompletely the Circles for "9" (in the first vertical column) and "9"(in the second verticle column). You should then encode the Roll

No. 081276. Do it thus similarly :

Important : Please ensure that you have carefully encodedyour subject, Test Booklet series and Roll Number.

*This is just illustrative and may not be relevant to your Examination.
