📢 About the Disclosure Scheme
As part of a Government initiative to improve employment access for aspirants, the UPSC has introduced a candidate information disclosure policy aimed at providing non-recommended candidates exposure to potential recruiters. This scheme is designed to ensure that candidates who reach the final stage of the selection process — but are not ultimately recommended — still benefit from their effort and merit by being visible to a wide network of registered employers.
📋 Key Features of the Disclosure Scheme
1
Eligible Candidates

The scheme applies exclusively to candidates who appear in the final stage of selection — i.e., the Interview / Personality Test — but are not recommended in the final result. Candidates eliminated at earlier stages (Written Exam or PET) are not covered under this scheme.

2
Data Sharing Platform

A dedicated portal hosted on the official UPSC website will be accessible to registered recruiters. The following types of organisations are eligible to access the portal:

  • Private Companies
  • Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs)
  • Statutory Bodies
  • Autonomous Government Bodies
3
Information Shared

The following candidate data points will be made available to registered recruiters through the portal:

👤
Short Biodata
🎓
Educational Qualifications
📞
Contact Details
📊
Percentile Scores
💼
Employment History
⚠️ Note on Scores: Only percentile scores are shared — not raw marks or percentage marks. Employment history is shared only if available and previously submitted by the candidate.
4
Purpose and Privacy
  • Data will be shared only after the Reserve List has been fully exhausted.
  • Information will be used exclusively for employment evaluation purposes by registered organisations.
  • There is no provision for partial disclosure — the data shared is a standard set defined by UPSC.
  • The choice to opt-in or opt-out is final and cannot be changed after submission of the e-Summon Letter.
5
Consent Requirement

Participation in this scheme is entirely voluntary and based on explicit candidate consent.

  • Candidates must explicitly consent to participate while downloading the e-Summon Letter for the Interview stage.
  • Candidates who opt out will have their data completely protected — it will not be disclosed or shared with any organisation under any circumstance.
  • The consent decision is binding and final — candidates cannot change their preference after submission.
6
Disclaimer

While the Commission facilitates the process and maintains the data sharing portal, UPSC assumes no responsibility or liability for how organisations use or interpret the shared data. The Commission's role is limited to providing the platform and disclosing information as consented.

⚠️ Disclaimer: UPSC does not guarantee employment through this scheme. The scheme is a facilitation mechanism only. Candidates should exercise due diligence in their interactions with prospective recruiters.
🏢 Who Can Access Your Data?

Only registered and verified organisations on the UPSC portal can view candidate profiles. Access is restricted to three categories of employers.

🏭

Private Companies

Registered private sector firms looking to recruit high-calibre candidates who have cleared rigorous government-level selection stages.

🏛️

Public Sector Undertakings

PSUs under central and state governments seeking candidates with verified academic credentials, percentile scores, and public service aptitude.

⚖️

Statutory Bodies

Government-established statutory and autonomous bodies that require disciplined, merit-vetted professionals for regulatory and administrative roles.

✅ How the Consent Process Works

The consent mechanism is simple but final. Here is the step-by-step process a candidate must follow.

Step 1 — Qualify for the Interview Stage

The candidate must clear the Written Examination and Physical Efficiency Test (PET) to be called for the Interview / Personality Test stage.

Step 2 — Download the e-Summon Letter

Upon being shortlisted for the interview, the candidate downloads the e-Summon Letter from the official UPSC portal. A consent prompt for the Disclosure Scheme is presented at this stage.

Step 3 — Make Your Consent Choice

The candidate explicitly selects Opt-In (agree to data sharing) or Opt-Out (decline data sharing). This decision is final and cannot be revised later.

Step 4 — Appear for the Interview

The candidate appears for the Personality Test. The consent preference is recorded and stored securely by UPSC regardless of the interview outcome.

Step 5 — Reserve List Exhaustion

After the final result is declared and the Reserve List is fully exhausted, UPSC activates the disclosure of data for consenting non-recommended candidates.

Step 6 — Recruiters Access the Portal

Registered recruiters log into the dedicated UPSC portal and can view the profiles of candidates who have opted in, and reach out for employment opportunities.

⚖️ Opt-In vs Opt-Out — What It Means

Understanding the difference between opting in and opting out is critical, as the decision is irreversible once the e-Summon Letter is submitted.

✅  Opt-In (Consent Given)
  • Profile shared with registered recruiters on UPSC portal
  • Exposure to private companies, PSUs, and statutory bodies
  • Percentile scores visible to prospective employers
  • Contact details shared for direct employer outreach
  • Employment history (if any) included in profile
✗  Opt-Out (Consent Declined)
  • No data shared with any organisation
  • Profile remains completely private and confidential
  • No employer will be able to view or contact the candidate
  • UPSC fully protects the candidate's information
  • No further action required from the candidate
⚠️ Final Decision: The opt-in / opt-out choice made at the time of downloading the e-Summon Letter is binding and cannot be changed at any later stage. Candidates are advised to make this decision carefully and deliberately.
📌 Note: This scheme is purely a facilitation mechanism aimed at increasing transparency and expanding employment exposure for meritorious candidates. Selection, interview, and appointment decisions of any recruiter remain entirely independent of UPSC.

A Second Opportunity — Built on Your Merit

The UPSC Disclosure Scheme ensures your hard work and merit don't go unrecognised — even if you are not recommended in the final CAPF result. It is a transparent, consent-driven pathway to alternate career opportunities.

🔐Consent-based — your data stays private unless you agree
🏢Exposure to private firms, PSUs & statutory bodies
📊Merit-based percentile scores shared — not raw marks
🚀Opens alternate career pathways for interview-stage candidates

Read the official UPSC notification carefully before making your consent decision — it is final and irreversible.
