Quick Summary
"PSC One Time Registration" isn't a single national system — every state Public Service Commission (Kerala PSC, TNPSC, TSPSC, UPPSC, WBPSC, APPSC and others) runs its own independent OTR portal. This page helps you find the right one.
Overview
PSC stands for Public Service Commission — a state-level recruitment body responsible for civil service and government job selection within that state. Each state's PSC maintains its own separate One Time Registration system, so there is no single "PSC OTR" portal that covers every state. The table below points you to the correct guide for your state.

Central Government (UPSC)
For central government civil service posts, the equivalent body is UPSC (Union Public Service Commission), which runs its own separate registration system rather than a state PSC's OTR. See the UPSC guide linked below.
A registration number from one state PSC cannot be used on another state's PSC portal, or on UPSC. Complete OTR separately on each commission you plan to apply to.
