@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.
Sir, Thank you for your clarification.
However, I had just checked that they will allow us to update the photograph.
I am thinking of updating it with a clean shave (Perhaps for my peace of mind & also to avoid showing negligence while filling out the form.) P.S. will attach a photo uploaded for your reference.Query below the photo!
Query w.r.t updating/correcting is:Will the date when I update the form (say 6 March) be considered the submission date or the date on which I submitted the original form (14 Feb)?My query is based on the presumption thatif the form is filled on a later date we get the center farther away(so, if you have any insights on this, I request you to share them too).
Thank You In Advance
Abhimanyu
Abhimanyu2603,I wear spectacles. While i took care of every other thing, my photo is without spectacles. I do not intend to wear the spectacles i have currently in future(big frames, green colored). Shall i change my picture? Can we wear lenses for the interview?
Yes you can. Lot of people do.

devyanibhardwaj182520,@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.

IamThat,
IamThat,@Neyawn Sir,I have filled my name according to my 10th marksheet (acc to UPSC instructions) ie “Name- Middle name- Surname”. But my name on Aadhar is “Surname-Name”. Is this going to be an issue in the future?
This should not be a problem. Vice versa usually is a bigger problem.
But try to reconcile the two. Get changes in AADHAR made.

Northernlights,
Magnetoz,
@Neyawn what is more preferable for interview beard or clean shave?
I know it's not that important but still..
Clean shave. Everyone nearly has to do it, or ends up doing it despite the normalisation of having a bearded look in the past half decade or so.

Osho,@DM I have only monday with me now. And that too is uncertain as today the officer wasn’t available for the entire day. But thanks for the heads up!
Leave it. Don't worry, the fact that @ the time of the interview affidavit will work , sure.
All the best :))
