(ii) If a candidate does not receivehis/her e-admit card or any othercommunication regardinghis/her candidature for theexamination two week beforethe commencement of theexamination, he/she should atonce contact the Commission.Information in this regard canalso be obtained from theFacilitation Counter located inthe Commission’s Office eitherin person or over phone Nos.011-23381125/ 011-23385271/011-23098543. Incase no communication isreceived in the Commission’sOffice from the candidateregarding non-receipt ofhis/her e-AdmissionCertificate atleast one weekbefore the examination,he/she himself/herself will besolely responsible for non-receipt of his/her e-AdmissionCertificate. No candidate will ordinarily beallowed to take the examinationunless he/she holds e-Admission Certificate for theexamination. On receipt of e-Admission Certificate, check itcarefully and bring discrepan-cies/errors, if any, to the noticeof UPSC immediately. The candidates should note thattheir admission to the examinationwill be purely provisional based onthe information given by them inthe Application Form. This will besubject to verification of all the eli-gibility conditions by the UPSC.

Candidates may notethat the Commission takes up theverification of eligibility conditionsof a candidate, with reference tooriginal documents, only after thecandidate has qualified forInterview or Personality Test onthe result of the written part of theexamination. Unless candidatureis formally confirmed by theCommission, it continues to beprovisional. The decision of the Commissionas to the acceptance of theapplication of a candidate andhis/her eligibility or otherwise foradmission to the Examinationshall be final. Candidates shouldnote that the name in theAdmission Certificate, in somecases may be abbreviated dueto technical reasons.

(iv) If a candidate receives an e-Admission Certificate in respectof some other candidate onaccount of handling error, thesame should be immediatelybrought to the notice ofCommission with a request toissue the correct e-AdmissionCertificate. Candidates maynote that they will not be allowedto take the examination on thestrength of an e-AdmissionCertificate issued in respect ofanother candidate.

(v) Candidates must ensure thattheir e-mail ids given in theirapplications are valid andactive.

PLAN OF EXAMINATION1. The Examination shall be conductedaccording to the following plan:-Part I-The written Examination willcomprise two sections-Section I con-sisting only of objective types of ques-tions and Section II of conventionalpapers. Both Sections will cover theentire syllabus of the relevant engi-neering disciplines viz. CivilEngineering, Mechanical Engineering,Electrical Engineering and Electronics& Telecommunication Engineering. Thestandard and syllabi prescribed forthese papers are given in Schedule tothe Appendix. The details of the writ-ten Examination i.e. subject, durationand maximum marks allotted to eachsubject are given in para 2 below.Part II-Personality test carrying amaximum of 200 marks of such of thecandidates who qualify on the basis ofthe written examination. 2.
