The following are the steps that you normally need to follow while applying for the UPSC exam.
- You need to go to the official UPSC website, www.upsc.gov.in, and look for the “apply online” button on the homepage. Click on it you’d be directed to a new page. On the new page, there’d be a link, “online application for various examinations”. Select the UPSC Civil Services exams by clicking on this link and proceed to apply for them.

- Before you fill the registration form, make sure to meticulously go over the “important instructions to keep in mind while filling the UPSC application form” that I have written below.
