About this tool
Track state commission deadlines — fee date, submission date, correction window — and the certificates each state actually accepts.
This tracker counts down every dated stage of a state Public Service Commission cycle — registration opening, the last date to deposit the fee, the last date to submit the form, the correction window and the exam — and pairs it with the certificate list that particular commission will accept. It treats the fee date rather than the submission date as the binding deadline, because money paid after the fee window does not attach to the application and the form then cannot be submitted at all. It also flags the trap that catches out-of-state candidates: a category certificate issued by another state gives no reservation, no fee concession and no age relaxation at a state commission.

Two last dates are tracked separately, and the earlier binding one is counted down.
Warns when the dates entered from an advertisement contradict each other.
Language papers, one-time registration, state-only classifications like MBC, 2A or OBC-A.
No. State commissions reserve seats for the SC, ST and backward classes of that state, so a certificate issued elsewhere gives no reservation, no fee concession and no age relaxation. You may still sit the examination as an unreserved candidate. The Supreme Court settled the principle in Marri Chandra Shekhar Rao in 1990, and every state notification restates it.
Because the commission has to reconcile the bank's payment file before it will let the form through. A payment made after the fee window does not attach to your application, and the submit button will not accept the form without it. Treat the fee date as the deadline and pay several days ahead of it — bank downtime on the final day is common.
Only the fields the commission names in its correction notice — usually spelling of a name, photograph, category, and sometimes the exam centre. Category changes that would reduce the fee are normally refused, and the window never reopens an application that was never submitted. Most commissions charge a correction fee per attempt.
Yes, and this is the commonest cause of rejection at document verification. The certificate has to be valid on the closing date of the application, which in practice means issued for the current financial year, because the income test is a rolling one. Apply for a fresh certificate as soon as the advertisement appears rather than after the result.
