Important Instructions

• Inclusion in the final result list does not guarantee admission; it is subject to subsequent document verification and medical standards prescribed by the respective academy.
• Marks of non-recommended candidates are usually published separately by UPSC within a specified period after the final result and remain available on the website for a limited time only.
• Candidates are advised to download and save a personal copy of the result PDF, as UPSC does not keep old results permanently accessible on its website.
• For any discrepancy in marks or personal details, candidates should contact UPSC through its official facilitation counter rather than third-party sources.
