Requests to reschedule interview dates will generally not be accepted.
Mandatory Online Update Window
As per the examination rules, candidates shortlisted for interviews must complete an online update process within a 15-day window from the date of declaration of the written result. During this period, they are required to:

Update details such as correspondence and permanent addresses, higher qualifications, employment history, achievements, previous service allocations (if any), marital status, parental information, and reservation-related certificates where applicable.
-
Submit cadre preferences in order of priority.
The online submission portal will remain active from February 27, 2026, to March 13, 2026 (6:00 PM). Failure to complete this process will lead to cancellation of candidature for the interview stage.
