The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) will soon open a three-day 'Correction Window' for candidates who have applied for the NDA & NA (II), 2025 and CDS (II), 2025 examinations, the central recruiting body said Thursday. The initiative will allow aspirants to rectify mistakes in their application forms, both in the Common Application Form and the Examination Application Form. This is a one-time measure aimed at helping candidates who may have entered incorrect details or uploaded wrong documents during the registration process, the government said.
