Prayagraj: The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) has rejected the candidature of 82 candidates for the assistant prosecution officer (APO) Main Exam-2025, after scrutinising their application forms and supporting documents.The commission said the applications were cancelled due to non-compliance with the conditions mentioned in the advertisement and examination guidelines.According to an official notification issued by the commission, the highest number of rejections — 58 candidates — occurred because they failed to submit the main examination application form to the commission office by the prescribed deadline of May 29 or did not attach the required documents with their applications.In five cases, candidates submitted only the supporting documents but failed to send the main examination application form. The candidature of another two applicants was cancelled after discrepancies were found between the date of birth mentioned in their online applications and that recorded in their High School certificates.The commission also rejected the applications of 13 candidates who claimed reservation under the Dependents of Freedom Fighters (DFF) category but did not submit the required certificates in support of their claim. One candidate was disqualified for failing to produce a valid disability certificate.Additionally, two candidates were found ineligible after seeking the benefit of disability reservation despite not being domiciles of Uttar Pradesh.
