The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Wednesday launched a new portal and the applicants will now have the option of using Aadhaar authentication to register.
The UPSC has included the option of Aadhaar verification and authentication, saying: “Applicants are strongly advised to use their Aadhaar Card as ID document in the Universal Application for easy, effortless and seamless verification and authentication of ID and other details after which it serves as a permanent and common record for all examinations.” Apart from the identity profile, the applicants have to furnish either Aadhaar or another valid photo identity document, it said.
“For early confirmation and eased access at exam centre and verification process you are advised to use Aadhaar as your Identity document,” the instructions to applicants read.
Applicants are required to upload the documents in the new portal, the UPSC said, adding that the old One Time Registration module will not be applicable anymore.
