UPSC Opens Applications for 34 Government Posts Across Departments
The UPSC is the office that hires people for many government jobs in India.
It just announced 34 new job openings in different government departments.
People who want these jobs must fill out a form online.
The forms opened on August 8.
Most people must finish their forms by August 28, but people applying for jobs in Ladakh have until September 4.
The jobs are very different — some are for engineers, some for map-makers, and some for plant and soil experts.
Each job needs a different kind of school degree.
Most applicants pay a small fee of 25 rupees, but women and some other groups do not have to pay.
The UPSC warns everyone to fill in their details carefully, because mistakes could get their application rejected.
