Candidates who have successfully cleared the preliminary examination can now access the official website to complete their UPSC IAS DAF 1 application. It is important to note that the deadline for submission is July 19, with the cut-off time set at 6 pm.
To fill out and submit the DAF 1 form, candidates must log in through the OTR portal, which grants them access to the application. The UPSC DAF 1 form can be found exclusively on the official website: upsc.gov.in.
The UPSC had earlier announced the results of the preliminary examination on June 12, paving the way for qualified candidates to move forward in the selection process.
