[APFC] don’t worry if you didnot get acknowledgement email after registration +Helpdesk numbers of UPSC

To all the APFC candidates who  have technical troubles regarding Registration and or didnot recieve any acknowledgment email from UPSC.

I’m copy pasting a few helpful posts:

vishnu said in readers’ comments
upsc will make the link active when it uploads the hall tickets….as the transaction is successful you dont need to worry just prepare well…until unless form was properly filled form didnt get submitted at the time of applying and if u have succuessful transaction history of the application with you then you dont need to worry.

RitzC from Pagalguy said,

After submiting the form completly you must have got a screen where it is asked you to take the prinout of the complete form.
if you haven’t taken the printout you must hav saved it.
if not then juss wait coz you have your registration number and password.
if you’re asked to download the admit card you can do it and for further process let the writen process hapen after that if you’re qualified they’ll gve the link to download the form for furthr process.
Even i havn’t got any mail after submiting the form so dont get tensed and study for writen process.

Conclusion:

There is no need to worry, it is a usual glitch with UPSC online application forms, many people don’t receive acknowledgement emails (same case in UPSC civil service exam). But they get the hallticket. So, note down the registration number, and concentrate on the studies.

And for the worst Case scenario, here are the Helpdesk numbers of UPSC

Telephone No. 011-23385271/011-23381125/011-23098543 on working days between 10.00 hrs and 17.00 hrs.
