UPSC Civil Services Main 2026 Result Out: Interview Stage, DAF-II Dates 11-25 Nov 2026

UPSC has declared the written result of the Civil Services (Main) Examination, 2026 in a notice dated 5 November 2026. The listed candidates have qualified for the Personality Test (interview) for the IAS, IFS, IPS and other Central Services (Group A and Group B). The most urgent task is the online detailed application form on upsconline.nic.in from 11 November to 25 November 2026, 6:00 PM. Candidates who skip it will not get an e-summon letter. Candidature is provisional, and certificates must have been issued on or before 27 February 2026.

What has UPSC announced in the Civil Services Main 2026 result?

UPSC has issued a notice dated 5 November 2026 with the result of the written part of the Civil Services (Main) Examination, 2026, which was held from 21 August to 30 August 2026. The candidates whose roll numbers appear in the list have qualified for the Personality Test (interview).

The selection is for the Indian Administrative Service, Indian Foreign Service, Indian Police Service and other Central Services (Group A and Group B). The notice is a list of roll numbers. It is not the final result. The final result and service allocation come only after the interview stage.

What does ‘qualified’ mean for the interview?

The notice says the candidature of all listed candidates is provisional, subject to being found eligible in all respects. This means UPSC can still reject a candidature at the interview stage if age, education, category or other claims are not supported by documents.

At the interview, candidates must show original certificates that support their claims on age, educational qualification, community, EWS, PwBD and similar categories. Other papers such as the TA form must also be produced. The notice advises candidates to keep all of these ready now.

Which certificate date is accepted?

Certificates for reservation or relaxation (SC, ST, OBC, EWS, PwBD, ex-servicemen and others) must have been issued on or before 27 February 2026. That is the last date of application for the Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination, 2026.

A certificate issued after that date will not help your claim. If your certificate is dated later, check the original rules and contact the UPSC help desk early instead of waiting for the interview.

What is the detailed application form and when must it be filled?

Every qualified candidate must fill in or update and submit the detailed application form online. UPSC says this facility will be open on upsconline.nic.in from 11 November 2026 until 6:00 PM on 25 November 2026.

On successful submission a reference number is generated and sent by e-mail or SMS to the registered ID and mobile number.

What information must be updated in the form?

Candidates who showed their qualification as ‘appearing’ at the Prelims stage must update their status and upload proof of passing the qualifying examination. If they do not, the candidature will be cancelled.

Other candidates must update, wherever applicable, details such as correspondence and permanent address, higher qualifications, achievements, employment and service experience, any service already allocated in earlier years, marital status, earlier PwBD recommendation, parents’ details, debarment information, attempts, OBC or EWS annexures, a socio-economic questionnaire, service preference, home cadre and the Pratibha Setu portal disclosure.

What if you have nothing new to update?

Even candidates who uploaded everything earlier and have no new information must log in, verify all details and press final submit. The notice says that if they do not, the e-summon letter will not be issued.

So do not treat the form as optional. Log in early, well before the last hour of 25 November, because heavy traffic near a deadline is common on government portals. Keep a screenshot or the reference number as proof.

How and where will the interview be held?

UPSC will announce the interview dates at a later time. The interviews will take place at the UPSC office, Dholpur House, Shahjahan Road, New Delhi. The programme will be released on the UPSC website.

E-summon letters will be issued on upsc.gov.in and upsconline.nic.in for download. UPSC will not send any paper or hard copy. A request to change the interview date or time will normally not be considered. Candidates who cannot download the letter must contact UPSC at once by letter, phone 011-40303444 / 011-24041001 or e-mail csm-upsc[at]nic[dot]in.

What about the attestation form, address changes and marks?

All qualified candidates must fill and submit the attestation form online on the DoPT portal (cseplus.dopt.gov.in). It stays available from the start of the interviews until they end. For queries, DoPT can be reached at doais1[at]nic[dot]in or 011-24010454 / 24010413.

UPSC will not accept requests to change information given in the application. If your address or contact details change, tell UPSC within 7 days of the date of this notice by letter or e-mail. After the interviews, marks-sheets will be uploaded within 15 days of the final result and stay for 30 days.

What does the notice not say?

The notice does not state how many candidates have qualified, the interview dates, the number of vacancies, or the cut-off. It does not publish marks. It does not say how the interview schedule will be grouped. Readers should wait for UPSC’s schedule notice and not rely on social media dates.

It also does not describe what happens to candidates who miss the 25 November deadline beyond saying no e-summon will be issued and no correspondence will be considered.
