The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has reopened the application window for the Engineering Services Examination (ESE) 2025 as of October 18, 2024. Candidates interested in applying can find the direct application link on the official UPSC website at upsc.gov.in.
The last date to submit applications is November 22, 2024. A correction window will be available from November 23 to November 29, 2024.
Candidates who have already applied do not need to submit a new application; however, they can update their One-Time Registration (OTR) profiles during the application period from October 18 to November 22, 2024. The decision to reopen the application process follows the Government's inclusion of the Indian Railway Management Service (IRMS) and its sub-cadres—Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Signal & Telecom, and Stores—in the ESE 2025 scheme.
