Quick Summary
There is no single "OTR last date" — every state and central recruiting body sets its own deadline, and it changes with each new notification. This page explains how to track the correct date for your target exam and what to do if you're close to missing it.
Open the specific portal guide for your state or commission from the list below — each guide links to the correct official page where the current last date is published.
Why OTR Deadlines Differ by Portal
One Time Registration is portal-specific: SSC, UPSC, and each state's public service commission or staff selection board run independent systems with their own notification calendars. A deadline on one portal has no bearing on another, so "the OTR last date" only makes sense once you specify which recruiting body you mean.

What to Do If You're Close to Missing a Deadline
- Complete OTR itself as early as possible — it's usually available even outside a specific notification's window.
- If a specific exam's application window is closing soon, apply during off-peak hours (early morning) to avoid server slowdowns.
- Keep your registration number and payment receipt saved as proof of submission.
- Watch the official portal for any last-date extension notices, which recruiting bodies sometimes issue if traffic causes access issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
Not always. On many portals, One Time Registration itself has no fixed deadline, while the specific exam application built on top of it does. Check both separately.
Yes, recruiting bodies occasionally extend deadlines, especially if a portal faces heavy traffic near the original last date. Extensions are announced on the official portal, not automatically assumed.
Conclusion
Always confirm the exact last date on the specific commission's own notification — this page is a starting point, not a substitute for the official source.
