The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has initiated the online application process for recruitment to various Group A and Group B posts. This recruitment drive aims to fill positions in technical, scientific, and medical fields across several central government departments. Interested and eligible candidates can apply via the UPSC Online Recruitment Application (ORA) portal until 6:00 PM on July 31, 2026. The Commission has clarified that no applications will be accepted after the deadline.

This recruitment drive will facilitate appointments to various posts—such as Assistant Soil Chemist, Prosecutor, Deputy Assistant Director, Entomologist, and Junior Scientific Officer (Toxicology)—across different central government departments. Additionally, the recruitment includes posts for Specialist Grade-III Assistant Professors in disciplines such as Clinical Hematology, Endocrinology, Neonatology, Nuclear Medicine, Pulmonary Medicine, Pediatric Cardiology, and Surgical Gastroenterology.

What are the eligibility criteria?
The UPSC has stated that educational qualifications, experience requirements, age limits, and reservation rules vary for each post. Therefore, candidates are advised to carefully read the official recruitment notification before applying and ensure they meet all the eligibility criteria for the specific post.

To apply online, candidates must first register on the ORA portal. Subsequently, they need to fill in the required details in the application form and upload the necessary documents. If an application fee is prescribed for a post, it must be paid online. After verifying all the information, candidates should submit the form and keep a printout for their records.

Contacting the helpline
The Commission advises candidates not to wait until the last date, as high traffic may cause technical issues on the website. In case of any problems related to the application, document uploading, or fee payment, candidates can contact the UPSC helpline on working days or send their grievances via email. Additionally, obtain all information related to the recruitment solely from the official notification and the ORA portal.
