Unfilled Vacancies and Suitability Issues

UPSC noted that several reserved and unreserved posts remain unfilled due to a lack of suitable candidates. This issue affects both Assistant Director and Marketing Officer positions.

Assistant Director Posts

The Commission found no suitable candidates for seven Assistant Director posts specifically reserved for the Economically Weaker Society (EWS). Additionally, two Assistant Director posts remain vacant due to ongoing legal disputes. These include one EWS post and one Other Backward Classes (OBC) post. The final result for these positions depends on the outcome of court cases OA No. 3486/2025 and 3500/2025, filed in Hon’ble CAT PB, New Delhi.

UPSC states that it duly considered all other applications. However, it was not possible to recommend these candidates for interview or the advertised posts.
