New Delhi, The Union Public Service Commission is planning to open a "correction window" for candidates to rectify their mistakes in the application forms filled for the NDA & NA and CDS examinations to be held this year. UPSC likely to open 'correction window' to help candidates rectify mistakes in application forms The correction window will open for three days and will be a one-time measure, according to the UPSC statement issued on Thursday.

As the portal is new and applicants are filling the information for the first time, UPSC is giving an opportunity to correct and rectify any wrong information filled during the application process, as a one time measure," he said. Kumar said the necessary software module to enable the correction window is being developed by the National Informatics Centre , and as soon as the same is ready and tested, it will be made available to the applicants. "Those applicants who are interested in availing the correction window, may look for the announcement, on UPSC website, which would give details of exact dates. The correction window would be available for three days, as a one time measure only," he said. The new online application portal was launched on May 28, replacing the old one time registration module. The applications for the CDS and NDA & NA were accepted through the new portal.

High growth, low inflation cushion
Jun 26, 2025 09:28 PM IST The world has seen so much economic chaos of late that crises have become the norm rather than the exception. The most recent, involving Israel, Iran and the US, seems to have subsided, for now. Even if one were to assume that things will not escalate in this theatre — which would disrupt India's trade and energy supplies — another conflagration could well be on its way. US President Donald Trump's pause on reciprocal tariffs ends on July 8 and only he knows what will follow. Then there are smaller, but far from insignificant, problems such as China holding back rare earth supplies from large parts of the world, including India. In short, the global economic climate will continue to remain uncertain going forward. While the growth rate has seen a significant slowdown in the past couple of years, it is still expected to be a healthy 6.5% for the ongoing fiscal year. (REUTERS) It is in this bearish external environment that the Indian economy is drawing a lot of comfort from domestic factors. The benchmark inflation rate has been below the 4% target for four months now. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) expects it to remain below 4% until the December quarter. It is this confidence that allowed RBI to frontload its monetary easing and administer a rate cut of 50 basis points earlier this month. While the growth rate has seen a significant slowdown in the past couple of years, it is still expected to be a healthy 6.5% for the ongoing fiscal year which will keep India as the fastest growing major economy in the world. RBI's monthly bulletin, released on June 25, underlines precisely this message. RBI's latest commentary will soothe sentiment both inside and outside the economy on India's short-term economic prospects. Having said this, it is important to note that policy challenges for medium-term and long-term economic prospects will need careful handling. These challenges will include negotiating trade deals, most importantly with the US, finding a way to pivot even more towards domestic factors for economic growth even though India's export book never really regained its pre-global financial crisis mojo, and bracing for capital market disruption that could arise from the precarious fiscal position of advanced economies. But none of these take away from the immediate economic comfort of low inflation and decent growth.
