COMBINED DEFENCE SERVICES EXAMINATION-II, 2026

The Online Application Portal of Union Public Service Commission for registration and filling up of application form online has four cards/modules, three of which namely, Account creation, Universal Registration and Common Application Form are common to all examination applications and can be filled anytime by the candidate while the fourth card/module is Examination Specific and can be filled during the time period allowed in notification of an examination.

Applicants are required to apply online by using the website https://upsconline.nic.in. Once a candidate has registered on the Online Application Portal, a Universal Registration Number (URN) is generated which is common for all the examinations of the Commission. After filling up of the Examination Specific Form, an Application Number is generated which is examination specific and is to be retained by the applicant along with the URN for any future communication with the Commission.

The URN has to be registered only once in a lifetime. While the URN will be unique and will remain constant, the Application Number will be dynamic in nature and will vary from examination to examination. Detailed instructions are available on the home page of the portal as well as with all profiles/modules to guide the candidates for filling up of the application form and uploading the documents.

Candidates are advised to first go through these Instructions carefully and prepare requisite documents in advance to have a smooth flow during filling up of form and document uploading.
