Official Details
UPSC Advertisement 11/2026 is a recruitment-by-selection notice, not the Civil Services Exam. Last date for most posts — 18:00 hrs on 2 October 2026. The Public Law Officer post under UT of Ladakh closes on 9 October 2026. Apply only on upsconline.nic.in. Detailed notice — upsc.gov.in Advt 11/2026 PDF.
This page is for students and early-career graduates who keep mixing UPSC “selection” ads with CSE. Selection ads shortlist on degree plus experience, then interview. CSE is a separate three-stage exam. If you only have a fresh degree and no printed experience, most seats here will not fit.
What UPSC actually does in Advertisement 11/2026
The Union Public Service Commission is a constitutional body. Besides CSE, it fills Group A and Group B posts in ministries and Union Territories by selection. Advertisement 11/2026 covers seven posts in Health and Family Welfare, Indian Bureau of Mines, New Delhi Municipal Council, Directorate of Prosecution (NCT of Delhi) and the Law department of UT of Ladakh.
Total printed vacancies — 212. Posting cities printed in the notice are Delhi, Nagpur, NCT of Delhi and UT of Ladakh. Service liability anywhere in India is printed for several posts.
What kind of role this is
Regular central / UT / municipal posts. Not internships. Not contract teaching unless a later offer letter says so. Medical posts carry Non-Practising Allowance on top of Pay Level-11. Legal posts are courtroom and litigation work. The Assistant Editor posts sit with the Indian Bureau of Mines in Nagpur.
Who should apply — and who should skip
Apply if you already hold the exact degree family printed for that vacancy number and the years of teaching, bar or editing experience counted after that degree. Age is counted on the closing date of that post.
Skip if you are a final-year student with no degree in hand, if you only have a general BA/BSc with no journalism diploma or law degree, or if you cannot produce a Ladakh domicile for the four Law Officer seats. Skip lookalike “UPSC form” sites that charge extra “processing” fees. Official fee is ₹25.
