About UPSC
Recruitment for the civil services, defence and engineering services runs through the Union Public Service Commission. Candidate calls go to its helpdesk on 011-24041001 and 011-40303444, or by email to [email protected], and the commission describes that line as open 10 AM to 5.30 PM on working days while an application window is running.
The 1800-118-711 helpline is a separate route for SC, ST, OBC, EWS and PwBD candidates, which the commission says runs on working days during office hours. Keep the Universal Registration Number from the application portal to hand for either call.
UPSC never rings a candidate asking for money, and no one can influence a selection. Written queries reach the commission through the feedback form on its own site, which routes by topic.

Only on upsc.gov.in, linked here, and written queries go to [email protected]. Results and notices appear there first, and any site claiming an early or exclusive UPSC result is not official.
Use the feedback form on the commission's own site, linked here. It routes by topic, examination, recruitment, or technical and others, to separate mailboxes. For an application problem during an open window, ring the helpdesk instead.
No. Nobody can influence a selection here, and the commission never rings a candidate asking for money or documents in return for a place.
