GaryVee,

@Ri2raj yes. Do you have an appointmenteyter or experience letter. Not needed, but better to have.

Was it paid or unpaid?

Praahj .

Can someone please clarify this? I have recently received appointment letter for a govt service but I am yet to join ( have applied for extension). Do I need to mention it in DAF now?

I was employed into one of the PSEs, worked there for a month and then resigned during training itself.
I am having the offer letter and salary slip, but no doc related to service experience or resignation. Should I fill employment details in DAF I?

@Neyawn I am badly confused about medium of interview. I am okay with both the languages, but somewhere I feel, I would be able to express myself better in Hindi. But for technical keywords like cooperative federalism or for standard definitions like that of "Democracy", or keywords of ethics like empathy etc, I can handle them better in English. So what is your suggestion?

@Neyawn Paid. But it wasn't a monthly thing, but was remunerated at the end of 3 months with 10k. But DAF asks for monthly.

Terrible how? Are they not legible?

It won't be a big issue if it's not in greyscale but since UPSC has specifically asked for it, it's better if it's in greyscale.

If you can read what's written in the certificate, it's fine. Just upload it.

Show it to someone close to you like a sibling or close friend. They will be able to point out if you've filled something incorrectly.

Others won't notice even if you fill your own name wrong!

Don't worry too much, btw. Even if you make some mistake, you can edit it even after Final submission till the last date.

Just be careful, and you'll be fine.

When I scanned - black and white looked terrible but greyscale are decent enough.

You put the calculated monthly figure. No documents have been asked for internship so far.

You can mention it. No issues. But prepare questions accordingly.

1. You can go for Hindi for interview

2. There is no discrimination on that front.

3. You will be asked questions and expected to answer in bol chal ki hindi, not sanskritised hindi.

@Neyawn Sorry for asking this again, but the thing which is troubling me is point 8 of UPSC Guidelines which reads "Candidates will be required to submit information about higher educational qualifications achievements in different fields, service experience and upload supporting documents/certificates, OBC Annexure (for OBC category only), EWS Annexure (for EWS category only), etc at DAF-II stage."

I left the job during first month of my training, so I do not have any doc related to Service Experience and Resignation.

It was a PSU and UPSC looks conscious about this like intimation, NOC and so on, while I kind of left the job abruptly by submitting a resignation and walking away.

I wish to fill the details but I am getting little apprehensive of these things, so please advise me on this.
