This stage carries 275 marks and significantly impacts the final ranking.

Candidates undergo a comprehensive medical examination to ensure they meet the required health standards for civil services. Simultaneously, all documents, such as educational certificates, age proof, and category certificates, are verified to confirm eligibility.

The final merit list is prepared by combining the scores of the Mains examination (1750 marks) and the Personality Test (275 marks). The UPSC CSE Final Result determines the ranks and service allocation of successful candidates.

5. Service Allotment

Based on the final merit list, candidates receive allotment letters detailing their assigned services, such as IAS, IPS, IFS, or other Group A and B services. This step considers the candidate’s rank, preferences in DAF II, and available vacancies.
