@Neyawn @DM Sir I have uploaded photo along with date and name.
BUT in the photo I have little beard. (not long) But I do have some.Now they say that we should go clean shaved in Interview.So is it something to worry about ?
Are they really not going to allow someone just because I had a slight beard ?
This is the first time they are doing it. Minor changes will not be a problem. In one year, anyway the face will change a bit.
Do not worry about it.

@Neyawn I did an error in this while filling date of photo (filled year 2000 instead of 2024). Will I able to do correction between 6-12 march ? As some are saying photograph can't be edited during that period. If someone has edited photograph last year, please reply. (In worst case scenario, if I am not allowed to edit, what should I do, will there be any problem on exam day because of this?)Also, there are some students who have filled the form without including date and name in photograph, they are also having same doubt.Thank you
It is recommended that you follow guidelines.
A safe approach is to go for a second registration. If one candidate has done two registrations , the last registration is counted as genuine.

@Neyawn Sir, is there any specific format to be followed, since UPSC has not given any sample, different people are suggesting different formats (slate/date name on photo itself).
Difficult to find a studio with this slate facility where I currently am, hence confused.
Please guide if you can.
Edit the photo, no need to carry slate, and put name and date.

S_Sahay,Actually I have not received my EWS certificate due to some issue. So I filled with general category. It will take approximately 7-8 days. So can I modify it after the correction window opens?Category,u can't change.
You can try after correction window. They could allow changing the category as well. You can also register with another email and mobile and apply with ews details. In case you can't get EWS certificate, use the general wala admit card

My OBC certificate has my name as (SAI MEGHANA), same as in Aadhar card. But my matriculation certificate has my name as (SAIMEGHANA)(without the space). From FAQ OBC UPSC, it is said that personal details are ascertained from Matriculation certificate. Will the space in the name in my certificate leads to invalidation in the future?
This should not be a problem. Upsc will say stick to matric certificate, but obc certificate will be a big issue. You may stick to your obc and aadhar. Later affidavit will do.

Hello guys,
In my aadhar card as proof of identity I have only initial instead of full surname, while in all my certificates I have full surname. Is it going to create any problem.
If you are from South, you may have this problem. Just use the initials, as space issue will also be there. You can use initials and last name, like S R Bommai

Respected sir/madam...My name is Nagargoje Rahul Vitthal. Last year, I completed the UPSC One-Time Registration. During the registration process, UPSC requested the father's name as mentioned in the Matriculation exam certificate. However, my certificate does not specify my father's name separately . Consequently, I entered my father's complete name (i.e., Nagargoje Vitthal Haribhau).In my matriculation certificate, my mother's name is mentioned without her surname and last name(i.e., Hemalata). However, during the OTR, I provided my mother's name with her surname and last name(i.e., Nagargoje Hemalata Vitthal).Sir, please advise me if I filled it incorrectly. If so, kindly provide a solution.
If you get to edit it, edit it as per matric certificate.
This will not be a problem. After interview, you will be allowed to submit affidavits.
