"On successful completion of withdrawal of application, confirmation message will be sent on e-mail and also an SMS. Once application has been withdrawn, it cannot be revived," the statement said.
With a view to reduce the stress for the candidates, the UPSC has brought an increasing number of exam related interactions and transactions online.
In this regard, Saxena said the UPSC is also moving ahead with shifting from a 'pen and paper' mode of examination to a computer-based mode.
"Apart from making the examination process more candidate-friendly, the new systems also serves to cut down the time cycle for each examination," he said.
Bearing in mind the aspirations of the youth for better job opportunities, the chairman said that the Commission is now disclosing the scores and ranking of the non-recommended candidates in some examinations on its website and further linking it with the "National Career Services" portal of the Ministry of Labour and Employment.
He said, central ministries and organisations can, conceivably take advantage of this arrangement wherein candidates who have cleared a rigorous screening process in the civil services, engineering services or combined medical services examinations, but could not find a place in the merit list due to constraints of vacancies, can now look forward to being picked up for other government, public sector or private sector jobs, from the same data base.
The measure should obviate the need for conducting of multiple and separate examinations by different organizations for posts with similar entry level qualifications, he added.
"This will reduce the stress on young job aspirants and also the time taken for recruitment by various bodies," Saxena said.
He also referred to the recent judgment of Supreme Court regarding appointment of DGPs of states as well as the government's proposal of lateral entry into the services.
He said these developments have heightened the responsibilities of UPSC.
