The UPSC said candidates who have qualified for the personality test will be required to produce original certificates supporting their eligibility and claims for reservation or relaxation, including documents relating to age, educational qualifications, community, Economically Weaker Section (EWS) and Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD).
Candidates have been advised to keep all relevant documents, including the Travel Allowance (TA) form, ready for verification at the time of the interview.
The Commission clarified that candidates seeking reservation or relaxation benefits under the SC, ST, OBC, EWS, PwBD and Ex-servicemen categories must produce original certificates issued on or before February 27, 2026, the closing date for applications for the Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination 2026.
The dates for the personality tests will be announced in due course. The interviews will be conducted at the UPSC office at Dholpur House, Shahjahan Road, New Delhi.
The e-summon letters for shortlisted candidates will be made available on the Commission’s official websites — upsc.gov.in and upsconline.nic.in. No paper or physical summons letters will be issued.
Candidates facing difficulties in downloading their e-summon letters have been advised to contact the Commission immediately through its telephone numbers 011-40303444 and 011-24041001, or email csm-upsc@nic.in.
