Aiming to facilitate the process of submission of applications by the aspirants of its examinations, the Centre’s apex recruitment agency the Union Public Service Commission has rolled out ‘One Time Registration’ (OTR) platform.
It has been launched on the Commission’s website at upsc.gov.in and upsconline.nic.in on a 24 X 7 basis. As per the Commission, the OTR will be quite useful for the candidates as it will not only save them from filling in their basic personal details again for any subsequent examination being conducted by the UPSC, but also eliminate any possibility of submission of incorrect information by them as their basic personal details will be validated by the candidates themselves.
Since about 70 per cent information of an aspirant in the OTR will automatically be pre-populated in the online application form of an examination, the time for filling/submitting an online application form will be reduced considerably.
