UPSC to send recruitment alerts to institutions via email: New step aims to expand outreach and improve applicant numbers
In a move that could help streamline public service hiring and reduce missed opportunities for eligible candidates, the Union Public Service Commission ( UPSC ) has launched a new email alert system for institutions. Educational and professional bodies across India can now subscribe to receive timely notifications about relevant UPSC recruitment advertisements directly in their inbox. Announced on August 5, 2025, the initiative was introduced by UPSC Chairman Dr. Ajay Kumar, who described it as a strategic step towards increasing awareness, improving participation, and reducing the number of vacant or infructuous posts due to low or ineligible applicant pools. Why this move matters Each year, UPSC handles over 200 recruitment proposals from different ministries and departments of the Government of India. These include Group A and Group B Gazetted positions across sectors such as medical, legal, education, engineering, finance, forensic audit, and other technical specialisations. In 2025 alone, more than 240 such recruitment requests have already been received. Despite broad advertising through Employment News, the official UPSC website, and its LinkedIn account, the commission has observed significant disparities in applicant turnout. According to Dr. Kumar, several advertised positions receive very few or no suitable applications. In some cases, even when candidates appear for interviews, the recruitment boards are unable to identify eligible individuals due to gaps in qualifications or experience. This has led to several posts remaining unfilled or being declared infructuous. The newly introduced email alert mechanism is expected to plug these gaps by directly informing relevant institutions and bodies about openings that match their educational or professional focus areas. How it works Under the new policy, UPSC will send recruitment-related email alerts to: Recognised universities and academic institutions Professional and industry associations Relevant bodies connected with the fields in which posts are being advertised Institutions that are not part of the initial mailing list can also request to be included. Interested parties can send an email to ra-upsc@ with the subject line: 'Subscription Request – UPSC Recruitment Alerts' . Once registered, they will receive timely updates whenever recruitment advertisements relevant to their domain are published. The Commission is also encouraging government departments that submit hiring proposals to actively publicise their posts through departmental websites and social media platforms. In addition, UPSC is expanding its digital outreach with LinkedIn updates and is exploring the use of the Public Broadcaster to spread awareness about its vacancies. There are also plans to enable RSS feeds on the UPSC website to make recruitment notifications more accessible and real-time. Planning ahead for a time-bound process Along with the alert system, UPSC is working towards improving the efficiency of the recruitment cycle. Dr. Kumar mentioned that Ministries and Departments have been asked to send their recruitment requests in a fixed window between January and March each year. This helps the Commission plan better by grouping similar posts and conducting joint examinations, leading to a more structured and timely recruitment process. A step towards inclusive merit The broader goal behind this initiative is clear. By improving access to information, UPSC hopes to ensure that qualified candidates do not miss out on career-defining opportunities simply because they were unaware of the openings. In the Chairman's words, 'We want to ensure that merit is not left undiscovered simply due to lack of information.' Institutions, educators, and placement officers are being urged to sign up for these alerts so they can keep their students and members informed. In an increasingly competitive and information-driven job landscape, proactive outreach like this may prove crucial in bridging the gap between opportunity and talent.

Three arrested for malpractice during UPSC examination in Kochi
KOCHI: Three persons, including a woman, were arrested in connection with attempting malpractice during the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) examination, using a small device resembling a walkie-talkie, in Kochi. The arrested are Ankit Kumar, 26, and Angad Kumar, 25, both natives of Lodipur in Bihar, and Prattiba Jaisri, 27, of Madurai in Tamil Nadu. The misconduct was carried out during the examination for the Central Armed Police Forces (Assistant Commandants) held at SRV Higher Secondary School in Ernakulam, said an officer with Ernakulam central police station. Ankit, who was the examination candidate, arrived early at the centre. Following preliminary checks, candidates were allowed entry into the premises. 'There were no signs of suspicion or alarm when the candidate passed through metal detectors at the entrance. However, the invigilator grew suspicious of Ankit's behaviour during the exam and conducted a secondary check, leading to the discovery of a small communication device in his possession,' the officer added. Following this, his accomplices were also apprehended, said a source with Kochi city police. 'While Ankit was writing the exam, his friend Prattiba assisted him by relaying answers from a nearby hotel using the electronic device. Their associate Angad was also booked and later arrested for aiding the operation,' he said. The accused have been charged for breach of confidentiality and privacy under the Information Technology Act and cheating-related charges of the (BNS).

Vacancies unfilled, UPSC to alert institutions about government jobs
In a first, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) will prompt educational and professional institutions about recruitment advertisements as many vacancies remained unfulfilled due to lack of information among jobseekers. UPSC does the recruitment to fill Group A and Group B gazetted posts in Ministries and Departments of the Government of India and conducts regular examinations. Depending on the nature of duties, these recruitments require essential qualifications of educational and experience criteria. Ajay Kumar, Chairman, UPSC said, 'Apart from our regular examinations, UPSC receives recruitment requests from various Ministries and Departments for various government positions. To streamline and expedite the process, we are ensuring that the requests are received well in advance within a three-month window, from January to March, so that the process is planned in a better manner by clubbing similar recruitment cases and holding their common tests to complete the recruitment drive in a time-bound manner.' The Commission receives over 200 recruitment proposals annually which are subsequently advertised online. In 2025, over 240 recruitment cases have been received, ranging across medical, scientific, engineering, technical, legal, teaching, and specialised posts (management, finance, accounts, forensic audit etc. related), mostly at Group A and Group B Gazetted levels, the UPSC said. Presently, it advertises recruitment process through Employment News, its official website and official LinkedIn account. 'In the past, some disparities were observed in the number of applications we receive for different posts. During the scrutiny of cases, sometimes, the case becomes infructuous as no suitable applicant meeting the Recruitment Rules criteria is found,' Mr. Kumar said. 'Many cases receive disproportionately less number of applications. Sometimes the posts remained vacant or became infructuous during the interview stage as suitable candidates are not found by the interview board. In order to address these issues, and reach out to the needy, eligible and qualified candidates, we are rolling out new outreach measures, for our recruitment advertisements whereby... it is planned to send email alerts/updates to relevant institutions and organisations. These alerts would also be made available to other/private institutions, whoever requests for the same' Email alerts would be sent to universities, institutions, associations, professional and recognised bodies, and other institutions can also request the information by writing to ra-upsc@
