Overview

• Today, August 18, is the final day for candidates to submit applications for Enforcement Officer/Accounts Officer and Assistant Provident Fund Commissioner posts through UPSC’s official portals.
• Reports conflict on total vacancies, with some outlets citing 230 posts and others detailing 130 openings (56 EO/AO and 74 APFC), prompting applicants to consult the official notification for confirmation.
• Applicants need a bachelor’s degree in any discipline and must complete one-time registration, upload documents, and pay a ₹25 fee, with exemptions for female, SC, ST, and PwBD candidates.
• The selection process comprises a two-hour pen-and-paper Combined Recruitment Test with one-third negative marking followed by an interview, and UPSC will announce exam dates later.
• Examination centres are allocated on a first-apply–first-allot basis across 78 cities, and candidates are advised to apply early to secure their preferred location before capacity limits are reached.
