It also advised candidates to upload a cancelled cheque, if available, to ensure accuracy of banking information. Once submitted, the details will be treated as final, with no further modifications permitted.
Nearly 23 lakh candidates had registered for the examination. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is currently probing allegations of irregularities related to the exam.
