The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is set to close the registration process for the Engineering Services Examination (ESE) 2025 today, October 8, 2024. Aspiring candidates who wish to apply for the prestigious examination must do so through the official UPSC website, upsc.gov.in, before the end of the day. The ESE is one of the most sought-after exams for engineering graduates aiming to secure posts in government departments and services.
The UPSC has announced a total of 232 vacancies for the ESE 2025 recruitment drive. This is a significant opportunity for engineering professionals looking to work in sectors such as public works, railways, telecommunications, power, and defense services. After the registration period ends, candidates will still have a chance to correct any errors in their application forms during the correction window, which will be available from October 9 to October 15, 2024. This window allows applicants to make necessary adjustments to their submitted forms before final consideration.
To apply for the ESE 2025, candidates must first complete a One-Time Registration (OTR) on the UPSC portal. After registering, they can proceed with the ESE application by following these steps:
* Visit the official UPSC website at upsc.gov.in.
* Click on the relevant link for ESE 2025, which is highlighted on the homepage.
* Select the new registration link and fill out the required details.
* Once registered, log in with your credentials.
* Complete the application form by entering the necessary personal, educational, and professional details.
* Upload all essential documents, including your photograph and signature.
* Pay the application fee of Rs 200 (applicable to General category candidates). Applicants from SC, ST, PwBD categories, and female candidates are exempt from paying the fee.
* Submit the form, download a copy, and take a printout for future reference.
Candidates must meet specific eligibility criteria to apply. They must be between 21 and 30 years of age as of January 1, 2025, with birthdates between January 2, 1995, and January 1, 2004. Those who do not meet the age requirements or other eligibility criteria will not be considered for the selection process.
With just a few hours remaining until the deadline, eligible candidates are urged to complete their applications as soon as possible. The ESE offers a prestigious career path for engineers, and missing the registration deadline would mean losing out on this opportunity for 2025.
