Union Public Service Commision is planning to open a “Correction Window” of three days, as a one-time
measure, for aspirants/ candidates to rectify their mistakes in the application forms filled for NDA & NA
Examination (II), 2025 and CDS Examination (II), 2025. The Correction Window would give an opportunity
to the candidates to edit their details and make necessary corrections, in the ‘Common Application Form’
and ‘Examination Application Form’.
The UPSC Online Application Portal has four parts, arranged in 4 separate cards at the home page, three of
which namely, Account Creation, Universal Registration and Common Application Form contains
information which are common to all examinations and can be filled anytime by the candidates. The fourth
part i.e. Examinations is examination specific module and contains examination notices, Examination
Application and applications status.
Speaking about the “Correction Window”, Dr. Ajay Kumar, Chairman UPSC said “the online portal provides
repeated checks, before the final submission of any application form. Despite that, apparently, some mistakes
have been made by the applicants in attaching their documents and filling up their details. As the portal is new
and applicants are filling the information for the first time, UPSC is giving an opportunity to correct and
rectify, any wrong information filled during the application process, as a onetime measure.”
Adding further, Dr Ajay Kumar said “Necessary software module to enable correction window, is being
developed by NIC and soon as the same is ready and tested, it would be made available to the applicants.
Those applicants who are interested in availing the correction window, may look for the announcement, on
UPSC website, which would give details of exact dates. The Correction window would be available for three
days, as a onetime measure only.”
The new Online Application Portal, was launched on 28.05.2025, replacing the old One Time Registration
(OTR) module. Applications for CDS Exam-II, 2025 and NDA&NA-II, 2025, notified on 28.05.2025, were
accepted through the new online application portal.
