UPSSSC PET Online Form 2026 Exam Schedule

UPSSSC PET Online Form 2026 Exam Schedule — a certificate verification schedule — is summarised below. The key figures are an application window closing 07 September 2026 and a fee of ₹185 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 Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) runs Group C recruitment for Uttar Pradesh. Since the PET was introduced, most UPSSSC vacancies require a valid Preliminary Eligibility Test score before you can apply for the main post — check that your PET year is still within the validity period stated in this notification.

Applications open on 03 August 2026 and close on 07 September 2026, giving candidates 36 days to complete the process. The 36-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 (08/09/2026), so errors in the submitted form can be fixed within that period rather than by re-applying. The exam is currently shown for 23 to 25 October 2026 ; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

The age limit runs from 18 to 40 years for unreserved candidates. That is a 22-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.

Fee-paying categories are charged between ₹25 and ₹185, depending on category. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, net banking, and UPI. 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.
