However, the results of some of those who appeared for the preliminary examination on Aug. 7, 2016, have been withheld because "the issue regarding their candidature is sub judice," according to an official statement released by the UPSC.
The Detailed Application Form (DAF) for the CSM and IFoS Main Examinations will be available online. For CSM, the forms will be available from Oct. 7 to Oct. 20 till 6pm, 2016.

If the candidates fail to submit their forms online before the date and time mentioned for the respective examinations, the official statements from the UPSC say: "Their candidature will be cancelled and they will not be issued E-Admit Card."
They also say: "Mere submission of application form does not, ipso facto, confer on any right for admission to the main examination. The E-Admit card along with the time table of the main examination will be uploaded on the commission's website for the eligible candidates, 2-3 weeks before the commencement of the examination. Changes, if any, in the postal address after submission of the DAF may be communicated to the commission at once."
