UPSC Civil Services exam applicants must now submit age and quota papers

The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has updated its civil services examination rules, making it mandatory for candidates to submit supporting documents for age, category, and reservation-related claims during the application process. This change follows a controversy involving a former IAS probationer. The 2025 exam will fill around 979 vacancies, with reserved spots for persons with disabilities, scheduled categories, and economically weaker sections.
