For the first time, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has notified candidates, in the Engineering Services Exam (ESE) 2019 notice, to withdraw their application if they wish not to appear for the exam. Process for the application withdrawal will begin a week after the deadline of application submission. The Commission has introduced the facility after considering the requests of candidates, earlier, who wished to cancel their candidature after submitting the application.

Exam fees will not be refunded in case candidate withdraws the application. The Commission, in its guideline for the application withdrawal process, has said that there is no provision for withdrawing of incomplete applications.
