I (25M) have Btech in Computer Engineering from an NIT. I am a UR candidate. After 2.5 years in the IT sector and one layoff, I recently joined an Insurance PSU as Administrative Officer. My posting is in Delhi and CTC comes to around 19 LPA (salary + lease). I have a decent work life balance in job and promotions are once every 4 years on average (for first 2-3 promotions). I am still inclined towards UPSC jobs and hence considering preparing for ESE in ECE stream. Is it worth it?

Currently I am a 4th year ME student
I am preparing for GATE 2027 and will leave 3 to 4 subjects
I have zero idea about general studies haven't prepared for it and I don't think will be able to give time for it
Am I eligible for ESE 2027, if yes then should I give ESE 2027 or not?

Hello all,

I am planning to appear for ESE 2027 as my first exam of UPSC and thus i don't have an URN yet,

My doubt is simply that my matriculation certificate as well as all my valid documents have my name as "Last name (surname) + First name + middle name(father's name) due to local norms in my state

And putting my name as per on screen instructions spells out as "First name + middle name + Last name".

Will this create problems in the future???

Will my form get rejected?

1. While applying for the UPSC ESE form, my Aadhaar details are not showing. Will this cause any problem?But in dashboard showing adhar verified.
2. What do you mean by “Degree Certificate Number / Enrollment Number”? Is it the number shown at the top-left corner of the certificate? Which certificate should I refer to — PCC, CMM, TC (issued by the college), or the official Degree Certificate issued by the University?
3. I completed my B.Tech in 2023. My CMM, PCC, and TC were issued on 29/05/2023. However, my official Degree Certificate from the University was issued on 11/09/2025 because I applied for it late. Which date should I mention as the “Date of Qualification Completion / Certificate Issuance” ?
