Why it matters

Applicants need to distinguish the new-form deadline from the extra week for corrections and payment reconciliation. They also need to check post-specific requirements rather than assume one qualification applies to every vacancy.

UPSSSC recruitment for 1,784 posts has an application window starting on 10 November 2026, according to the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission’s official advertisement. The online application and fee-payment deadline is 1 December, while corrections and fee reconciliation can continue until 8 December.

The recruitment is for the Combined Lower Subordinate Services Intermediate Level Main Examination under advertisement 26-Exam/2026. It is linked to the Preliminary Eligibility Test held in 2025, usually called PET 2025. Candidates need the prescribed qualifications for the posts they select, along with the required PET record.

Who can apply for UPSSSC recruitment

The UPSSSC recruitment notice says applicants must have appeared in PET 2025 and received a scorecard. Shortlisting for the main examination will use the normalised PET score, which adjusts scores for comparison across examination sessions. Having appeared in PET does not by itself guarantee a place in the main examination.

Candidates with zero or negative marks in their actual or normalised PET score will not be shortlisted, the advertisement states. The commission also requires candidates to possess the necessary educational and other qualifications by the application closing date, 1 December 2026.

UPSSSC recruitment covers different departments and job types, so one general eligibility sentence cannot replace the post-wise tables. Age conditions and additional qualifications vary. Some posts require particular computer qualifications or other specified experience or skills. Applicants should compare their own qualifications with the exact row for each post they choose.

The notice includes posts in the tax, revenue, health, social welfare, panchayati raj, tribal development, consolidation and prison departments. Its advertised total is 1,784. This is the number of vacancies in the notice, not the number of people already selected or appointed.

Why 8 December is not the application deadline

The date table on the first page separates the application deadline from the later correction and payment-reconciliation period. Reconciliation means ensuring a payment has been matched to the application in the commission’s system.

Step Date in the notice What it means
Registration, application and payment start 10 November 2026 Start of the advertised window
Application and fee-payment close 1 December 2026 Deadline for new applications and payment
Correction and fee reconciliation close 8 December 2026 Later stage for an existing application

For UPSSSC recruitment applicants, the practical distinction is important. The special note says new applications will not be accepted after 1 December. It also says a candidate may be unable to print the application until the bank payment has been reconciled, making payment status a separate check from simply entering details.

UPSSSC recruitment fees: what the ₹25 charge covers

At the application stage, the notice lists a zero application fee and a ₹25 online processing charge for the unreserved, Other Backward Classes, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes categories. Applicants in other listed reservation groups pay according to their original category.

That ₹25 is not the complete examination cost. The same page says candidates shortlisted for the main examination must pay its prescribed examination fee separately before downloading the main-exam admit card. This report does not invent that later fee amount.

The distinction prevents a misleading reading of UPSSSC recruitment as an entire selection process costing ₹25. The current charge belongs to the online application stage; a later main-exam charge applies to those who reach that stage.

How to apply for UPSSSC recruitment online

The commission’s 39-page advertisement directs applicants to upsssc.gov.in and the relevant entry in the Live Advertisement section. Applications through another medium will not be accepted. Login uses the PET registration number and a one-time password sent to the registered mobile number or email.

Applicants must select the posts for which they want consideration and enter the relevant qualification details. The commission says a post not selected in the form will not be considered. The photograph and signature carried over from PET 2025 cannot be changed in this application, even though specified other details can be corrected.

The notice describes a written paper with 100 multiple-choice questions for 100 marks, lasting two hours. A wrong answer carries a penalty of one quarter of the mark for that question. The dates examined in this notice establish the application window; this report does not supply an unverified examination date. More Uttar Pradesh service and education coverage is available on our state page.

Frequently asked questions

Is 8 December the last date for a new form?

No. New applications and fee payment close on 1 December; 8 December is for correction and fee reconciliation.

Does the ₹25 cover the main examination?

No. It is the current online processing charge. The notice requires shortlisted candidates to pay a separate main-exam fee.

Can every PET 2025 candidate take the main exam?

No. Candidates must meet the post-wise conditions and be shortlisted using the normalised PET score. Zero or negative actual or normalised scores are excluded.
