"Dear @UPSC_Official, please fix the server issues so aspirants can fill up their forms on time. This is causing unnecessary stress and inconvenience for many," tweeted one user, highlighting the anxiety caused by the technical difficulties.
Another user expressed similar sentiments, stating, "@upsc_official esteemed commission your site has been down or busy for more than 3 hours. UPSC exam filling is hampered for last hour fillers. Please see through the same."4

"Please extend today's deadline. We can't upload our form because the site is not working @upsc_official @DoPTGoI," pleaded one user.
As of now, the UPSC has not issued an official statement regarding the website issues or the possibility of extending the application deadline. It is recommended that aspirants stay updated by following the official UPSC channels for further announcements.
