The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) has invited applications for the Preliminary Eligibility Test (PET) 2026, the common qualifying exam used for various UPSSSC recruitments. The score card from this test remains valid for 3 years.

Online applications are open from 3 August 2026 to 1 September 2026, which is also the last date to pay the fee, and corrections can be made up to 8 September 2026. The exam is tentatively planned for October 2026, with the exam city intimation and admit card both to be released before the exam, and the eligibility result to follow as per schedule. The fee is 185 rupees for General, OBC and EWS candidates, 95 rupees for SC and ST candidates, and 25 rupees for PH (Divyang) candidates. Applicants must be between 18 and 40 years old, and the minimum qualification is a Class 10 pass, though any higher qualification from a recognized university also qualifies.

Since PET is used as a common eligibility test for several UPSSSC posts later on, candidates should keep the score card safe once issued and watch for the exam city and admit card notifications closer to October.

How to Apply

  1. 1Read the official notification carefully before you start, since it covers eligibility, age limit and vacancy details in more depth than any summary can.
  2. 2Open the "Apply Online" link on this page to go to Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC)'s own application portal; applications submitted anywhere else won't be valid.
  3. 3Register with a working email address and mobile number, since the portal typically sends your login details and status updates to both.
  4. 4Fill in the form with your personal, educational and category details exactly as they appear on your certificates. A mismatch here is one of the most common reasons applications get rejected at verification.
  5. 5Upload your scanned photograph and signature in the exact format, dimensions and file size the notification specifies.
  6. 6Pay the application fee. General (UR) / OBC / EWS candidates pay ₹185.
  7. 7Check every section of the completed form on the preview screen before you submit, since most portals don't allow edits afterward.
  8. 8Download or print the confirmation page once submission is complete; you'll likely need it again at the admit card or document verification stage.
  9. 9Applications close on 01 Sept 2026, so don't leave this for the last day. Portals slow down and sometimes fail under heavy traffic right before a deadline.
