Candidates appearing for the UPSC Civil Services (Main) Examination 2026 can file representations on questions or papers via a designated online portal beginning August 31, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) announced. The Question Paper Representation Portal (QPReP) will be accessible for five days, concluding on September 4, allowing candidates to submit feedback on the examination's content.

The UPSC emphasized that only representations submitted through the QPReP portal will be considered valid. Any submissions made through alternative methods or after the September 4 deadline will be disregarded. The QPReP portal can be accessed through the UPSC's online platform. Candidates are reminded to be mindful of this five-day window and ensure their representation is submitted within the stipulated timeframe to be considered by the Commission.
