🟢 Apply Open — 03 August 2026 | 🔑 PET = Gateway for ALL UP Group B/C Posts | 💳 Fee ₹185 (Gen/OBC) · ₹95 (SC/ST) · ₹25 (PH) | Advt 16-Exam/2026 · upsssc.gov.in · Class 10 Minimum
🔑 UPSSSC PET is NOT a recruitment for a specific post. It is a Preliminary Eligibility Test — a mandatory qualifying/screening exam. Candidates who appear in PET and qualify are placed on a merit list. This merit list is then used when UPSSSC announces recruitment for specific posts (Lekhpal, Forest Guard, Junior Assistant, etc.). Without a valid PET score, you cannot apply for most UPSSSC Group B and C posts. Think of PET as your ticket into the UPSSSC recruitment system.
📌 How UPSSSC PET Works — 3-Step Process
Step 1 — Appear in PET 2026: Register, pay fee, appear in the online exam. PET covers GK, Hindi, Maths, Reasoning, and general aptitude.
Step 2 — Get PET Score/Merit: UPSSSC releases PET results and a score/merit list. Your score determines your competitive position.
Step 3 — Apply for Specific Posts: When UPSSSC announces recruitment for Lekhpal, Forest Guard, Junior Assistant, Accountant, etc. — only candidates with a valid PET score within the required range can apply for those posts. PET score is typically valid for 1-2 years (verify from official notification for this edition).
Why this matters: If you don't appear in PET 2026, you won't be able to apply for the next wave of UP Group C recruitments — irrespective of your qualification. Don't miss this window.

UPSSSC PET क्या है? यह कोई post के लिए नहीं है तो इसे क्यों भरें?
UPSSSC PET = Preliminary Eligibility Test (Pre Examination Test) — यह कोई specific post के लिए नहीं है। यह एक mandatory gateway exam है। जो भी candidate UPSSSC के Group B और Group C posts (Lekhpal, Forest Guard, Junior Assistant, Accountant, Mandi Inspector आदि) के लिए apply करना चाहते हैं, उन्हें पहले PET qualify करना अनिवार्य है। PET exam देने के बाद एक merit list बनती है। जब UPSSSC कोई post का notification निकालती है, तभी valid PET score वाले candidates उस post के लिए apply कर सकते हैं। बिना PET score के UP Group C posts के लिए apply नहीं किया जा सकता। इसलिए PET भरना अनिवार्य है — यह आपका UP सरकारी नौकरी का दरवाज़ा है।
UPSSSC PET 2026 के लिए qualification क्या है और age कब तक होनी चाहिए?
Qualification: न्यूनतम Class 10 (High School) किसी भी recognised Board से pass — या इससे ऊपर की कोई भी qualification। 12th, Graduation, PG — सभी eligible हैं। Age: Minimum 18 Years और Maximum 40 Years — 01 July 2026 के अनुसार। SC/ST/OBC/PH/Ex-Servicemen को UPSSSC नियमों के अनुसार age relaxation मिलेगी — official notification से verify करें। Fee: General/OBC: ₹185 · SC/ST: ₹95 · PH: ₹25 · Last Date: 01 September 2026
What is the UPSSSC PET 2026 form correction date and what can be corrected?
The source states 08 September 2026 as the form correction date. This is the window during which candidates can modify incorrectly entered details in their submitted PET 2026 application — typically name spelling, date of birth, category, photo/signature, and qualification details. The correction window usually has a fee (if changing category) or may be free for minor edits. The exact scope of what can be corrected (and any associated fee for corrections) must be verified from the official UPSSSC notification at upsssc.gov.in. Note: the source provides a single date (08 Sep) — it's unclear whether this is the start or end of the correction window; verify from official notification.
