Institutions To Get UPSC Recruitment Alerts Via Email

NEW DELHI: In a major outreach initiative, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has enabled a new facility for educational and professional institutions to receive direct email alerts about the UPSC recruitment advertisements, relevant to their domains.

The UPSC undertakes recruitment to fill up various Group A and Group B gazetted posts in various Ministries and Departments of the Government of India and UTs, in addition to conduct of regular examinations.

“Apart from our regular examinations, the UPSC receive recruitment requests from various Ministries and Departments, for various government posts. To streamline and expedite the process, we are ensuring that the requests are received well in advance within three months 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 in a time-bound manner,” said UPSC Chairman Ajay Kumar.

The UPSC receives over 200 recruitment proposals annually from Ministries and Departments of the Government of India. These are advertised online after a detailed processing cycle.

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.

As of now, the UPSC advertises its recruitment process through, Employment News, UPSC’s official website, and UPSC’s 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. Many cases receive disproportionately fewer number of applications. Sometimes the posts remained vacant or become infructuous during the interview stage as suitable candidates are not found by the Interview Board. To address these issues, we are rolling out new outreach measures for our recruitment advertisements, whereby among other things, it is planned to send email alerts and updates to relevant institutions and organisations. These alerts would also be made available to private institutions, whoever requests for the same. We, at UPSC, want to ensure that merit is not left undiscovered simply due to lack of information,” said the UPSC Chairman.

Under the new outreach policy for recruitment posts following initiatives are planned:

• Email alerts will be sent to universities, institutions, associations, professional and recognised bodies, etc.
• Email alerts will be sent, on demand, to other institutions, who send their request to UPSC, for receiving such alerts and updates.
• Such requests can be sent to ra-upsc[at]gov[dot]in.
• Official communications are sent to indenting Ministries and Departments urging them to publicise recruitment advertisements on their websites and social media networks.
• UPSC advertisements are being shared on LinkedIn, and plans are underway to publicise them through the Public Broadcaster.
• A proposal to enable RSS feeds on the Commission’s website is under consideration.
• Institutions wishing to subscribe to the email alert service may send a request to ra-upsc[at]gov[dot]in with the subject line: “Subscription Request – UPSC Recruitment Alerts”.
