What this means for you

The Prelims of 26 April 2026 have been held, so this advertisement is now a reference, not a form to fill. What it still tells a new aspirant: the Commission opened applications about four months before the Prelims, kept a late-fee window running almost to the exam, and revised the vacancy count after publication (156 by the corrigendum of 20 May 2026), so the number to prepare against is always the latest corrigendum's. Watch the Commission's Results page for the Prelims result and the Main examination programme; that nothing newer appeared on the site when we checked is normal for the months between Prelims and Mains.
