The Admission certificates (admit cards) to all the eligible candidates are despatched by post. However, information regarding venues of examination is also available on Union Public Service Commission's website http://www.upsc.gov.in . The eligible candidates who have not received the admission certificates may download the venue information from the above mentioned website and use it for appearing in the examination. The candidates intending to appear in the examination using downloaded venue information are advised to reach the venue of their examination on the day of examination. Such candidates are also advised to carry one identical photograph for each session on each day, other wise they may not be allowed to take the examination. They may also carry proof of their identity such as identity card, voter identity card, driving license, and passport etc. to the venue of the examination.

20. I am filling up the various columns in the application and the process of filling up the form is yet to be completed. I want to change the filled up information in one/many columns. How should I do this?
Or
I filled my form and completed the form. I have made some errors. What should I do to remove these errors?

After the filling up of the various columns in part I of the online application, the system displays a message whether an applicant desires to change/update any of the information which has been filled in by him and if so, he is required to click on the Update button. In case, changes are to be made this facility may be utilized. Thereafter, no more changes are accepted by the system and in case revised information is to be filled up, an applicant may submit a fresh online application. For part-II of the online application, a candidate must satisfy himself about the quality of the image of the photograph and the signature uploaded by him. After uploading the photograph and the signature a fresh page shows the preview of the uploaded images. If, one is satisfied with the uploaded images he may click on Confirm Upload button. In case one is not satisfied with the uploaded images, he may click on the Reload Photograph or Reload Signature button. The reloaded photograph/ signature can again be viewed by clicking on the Image refresh button. The process can be repeated till satisfaction. After having clicked on the Confirm Upload button, the system will not allow any changes in the photograph/signature. The candidates may note that in case the quality of photograph/signature is not acceptable/poor, then their application is liable to be rejected by the commission.
A sample of quality of acceptable and non acceptable photographs/signatures is given below for the guidance of the candidates.
In case you have submitted the application form successfully and later on you come to know that you have committed a grave mistake, then you should resubmit your application afresh duly correcting the errors/omissions/mistakes/quality of photo or sign. However in this case you will have to make the requisite fee payment again and upload the Part-II information again with new RID allotted to you at the resubmission of Part-I information.
