Qualification and age
An engineering degree or an alternative qualification expressly accepted in the official notice is required. Certain specified services accept relevant MSc qualifications. Read the qualification, recognition and service-specific conditions before applying.
The general age rule is at least 21 and below 30 years on 1 January 2027: born from 2 January 1997 to 1 January 2006. Category and eligible departmental-service relaxations apply under the official rules. Check the detailed notice rather than assuming every candidate has the same upper age.
Application fee and selection
The fee is Rs. 200. Female, SC, ST and eligible PwBD candidates are exempt. OBC and EWS candidates are not exempt. Selection includes Preliminary/Stage I, Main/Stage II and Personality Test/Stage III, with the prescribed medical and service requirements.
Apply online carefully
- Read the official examination notice and confirm your engineering category, qualification and eligibility.
- Use the UPSC online portal to complete Universal Registration Number (URN), Common Application Form (CAF) and the examination-specific module.
- Provide the required documents and live photograph capture, and pay the fee if applicable.
- Review all information before submitting. The notice does not allow changes to an already submitted ESE application; a later URN profile update does not amend it.
- Keep the submitted application and payment record. Complete the process before 6 October 2026 at 6:00 PM.
