Applicants are requested to note that before filling the online application they may have a careful look on the common reasons where an applicants online application is rejected by the Commission. Applicants are therefore advised to be careful enough so that chances of their applications being rejected by the Commission 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 rejection happens due 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 submittedor 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 photograph 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 1

(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
