When did registration close, and was there a correction window?
The UPSC examination notice set the online application cutoff at April 30, 2024, at 6:00 PM; the application link was to be disabled after that time. Scroll.in reported an application edit window from May 1 through May 7, 2024. Both periods have ended. The notice was hosted by CareerPower, rather than on a UPSC-hosted PDF found in the source review: CMS 2024 examination notice (PDF).
What were the reported eligibility and selection details?
Scroll.in summarized the age condition as under 32 on August 1, 2024, with an upper limit of 35 for Medical Officers Grade in the Central Health Services General Duty Medical Officers Sub-cadre. It also noted upper-age relaxation for reserved categories. Applicants were reported to need to have passed the written and practical parts of the final MBBS examination. These are summary-level descriptions; exact conditions, exceptions, and category relaxations are governed by the examination notice.
Selection scheme
- Written examination: Two papers, each worth 250 marks, for 500 marks total; two hours were allotted to each paper.
- Personality test: A 100-mark test for candidates who qualified on the written result.
Application fee reported at the time

Do not use the old CMS 2024 deadline as an application guide. Check the latest examination notices for current dates, eligibility, vacancies, and any live application window. UPSC’s official homepage directs examination applicants to its online application portal; that general portal direction does not mean CMS 2024 applications remain open.
