The notice issued by UPSC reads, “Candidates are advised to carry two identical photographs (one photograph for each session) alongwith the printout of e-admit card at the venue of the examination for appearing at the examination with an undertaking. No paper Admit Card will be issued for the examination by the commission. In case of any discrepancy in the e-admit card, the same may be communicated to the commission immediately at email ID: usengg-upsc@nic.in latest by 29th December, 2018 to enable the Commission to take a decision in the matter. “
