Can you make changes in DAF - II form?
UPSC has also notified that it will not consider any requests for changes or modifications of any kind to the information provided in DAF-I and DAF-II.

Twitter comes together to encourage candidates
Many candidates, like each year, haven’t been able to successfully clear the examinations and thus have sent encouraging messages to each other on social media platforms.
“Didn’t clear UPSC mains after getting Rank 213 in UPSC 2020, it’s genuinely humbling. You finally see that this exam is about so many factors beyond your control. Trying to learn how to talk about my failures as much as my successes! IPS West Bengal it is,” said a previous candidate, Nirja Shah, an IPS officer in WB, on Twitter indicating her decision to move away from the preparation for UPSC.
While others are figuring out the mistakes which led to them not being able to clear the exam. “To all those asking me about my mains results - i didn't make it this time. Will figure out where I went wrong and what to do next,” said another candidate.
