With the increasing number of last-minute applicants, many candidates are facing challenges in completing the online application process. They have appealed to the Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (HPPSC) to extend the last date of application to give more time to those facing these technical glitches.

If there is any systemic problem, we will definitely extend the date of online application,” Thakur said.

As the application window is about to end, candidates are hoping that the commission will take into account their concerns and provide additional time to complete the process.
