Important
Applicants
are requested to note that before filling the online application they may have
a careful look on the common reasons where an applicant's online application is
being rejected by the Commission.
Applicants are therefore advised to be careful enough so that chances of
their applications being rejected are minimized to the best possible extent and
their effort is not lost due to the reasons which can be avoided by them if
they remain slightly more careful while submitting their application to the
Commission. The Experience of Commission (UPSC) shows that major rejections happen due
to the following reasons.
a) Application being rejected on
the grounds of bad quality of submitted photograph.Sample1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
b) Application being rejected on
the grounds of bad quality of submitted signature. Sample 1 2 3 4
c) Application being rejected on
the grounds of swapping of photograph with that of signature. Sample 1
d) Application rejected due to
submission of photograph only, i.e. no signature submitted or photograph
submitted at the place of signature as well. Sample 1
e) Application rejected due to
submission of signature only i.e. no photograph
submitted or signature submitted
at the place of signature as well. Sample 1
f) Only PART-I of the application
is submitted to the Commission and thus
their application is incomplete because of non –submission of PART-II Sample I
g) Application
submitted multiple applications however fee deposited (TID** ) against a particular application (RID*) is mentioned for other
application having different RID. Sample
1 2 3
h) Applicant submitted PART-I and
paid fee as well, but did/could not complete PART-II i.e. failed to submit
photograph and signature. Sample1
i) Application being rejected on
the grounds of non submission of payment proof to the Commission within
specified time in case of fictitious payment ***cases (which are intimated to the applicant through
e-mail as well as published on the website of the Commission within 2 weeks
after the last date of receipt of online application).
* RID is Registration ID, which is generated by the system when the
application completes PART-I registration of his application.
** TID is Transaction ID, which is given by Bank official when the
applications deposits his/her fee through "cash" mode and it
is automatically generated when "Internet Banking" or "credit/debit card/UPI Payment " mode is
used for making the fee payment.
***Fictitious payment cases are those cases for which the Commission does not

claimed to have deposited his/her fees.
