As per UPSC guidelines, candidates must arrive at their designated examination centers by 9:00 AM for the morning session and 2:00 PM for the afternoon session. Entry gates will close 30 minutes before the commencement of each exam. Latecomers will not be permitted entry.

Candidates are strictly required to use only black ballpoint pens for marking answers and filling out the OMR sheets and attendance sheets. Electronic devices, including mobile phones, Bluetooth devices, and smartwatches, are strictly prohibited. Only simple analog wristwatches are allowed.

“Violation of the rules will lead to disciplinary action, potentially including disqualification from future UPSC examinations,” warned the UPSC. Supervisors and other staff involved in the examination process are also prohibited from carrying mobile phones or any communication devices inside the exam hall.

Candidates must bring their admit card and a valid photo ID proof to each session. Those whose photographs on the admit card are unclear or missing the name and date must bring a photo ID and two passport-sized photographs with the name and date printed on them, along with a self-declaration.
