I bought the UPSC application form from a post office. Now I am confused what a central recruitment fee stamp is, The employment news tells me that is a stamp one gets from post office. I go back to post office, and they enlighten me that is a stamp that is cancelled! after you bring the filled up application form to post office, you may get it cancelled! from any nearby post office.
I decided to fill the application form, and was irritated by all the Hindi in between. OK, Hindi happened to be the national language, I should concentrate on English though. After filling up the form for IES now I’m confused whether it is Indian Engineering Service or indian Economic Service, completely unrelated stuff. There is a site for employment news http://www.employmentnews.gov.in/ which guides you to date of newspaper .
For online application go to http://www.upsconline.nic.in/
And finally I landed on the page I required :
