UPPSC Pre 2026 Apply Online

UPPSC Pre 2026 Apply Online is a certificate verification schedule covered on this page. The key figures are an application window closing 27 July 2026 and a fee of ₹125 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) conducts state civil services and specialist recruitment. Its exams typically run prelims, mains and interview as separate stages months apart, so read this notification for which stage it covers rather than assuming the full cycle.

Applications open on 25 June 2026 and close on 27 July 2026, giving candidates 33 days to complete the process. The 33-day window is comfortable, though last-day traffic still causes portal failures every cycle — applying in the first half avoids it. A correction window is listed (25/06/2026 to 03/08/2026), so errors in the submitted form can be fixed within that period rather than by re-applying. The exam is currently shown for As per Schedule; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

The age limit runs from 21 to 40 years for unreserved candidates. That is a 19-year band, so candidates near either edge should confirm the exact cut-off date the notification measures age against — it is usually a fixed reference date, not the date you apply. On qualifications, the notification states: Bachelor Degree in Any Stream in Any Recognized University in India. More Eligibility Details Read the Notification. If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

Fee-paying categories are charged between ₹25 and ₹125, depending on category. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, net banking, and offline bank challan. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Document verification is where otherwise-successful candidates most often fall out, usually over a missing category certificate or a name mismatch across documents. Assemble originals plus self-attested photocopies well before the date, and get any discrepancy in spelling or date of birth corrected in advance — it cannot be resolved on the day.
