UPPSC Agriculture Services Pre Answer Key 2024

UPPSC Agriculture Services Pre Answer Key 2024 — a answer key release — is summarised below. The key figures are an application window closing 10 May 2024 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 10 April 2024 and close on 10 May 2024, giving candidates 31 days to complete the process. The 31-day window is comfortable, though last-day traffic still causes portal failures every cycle — applying in the first half avoids it. Fee payment closes on 10/05/2024 — note that this can fall on a different day from the form deadline, and an unpaid form is not a submitted form. A correction window is listed (16/05/2024), so errors in the submitted form can be fixed within that period rather than by re-applying. The exam is currently shown for 18/08/2024; 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 Science B.Sc with Chemistry / Agriculture as a Subject OR Master Degree in Fruit and Vegetable OR M.Sc Degree in Food Technology / Food Preservation. 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.

Work out a provisional score from the official key before the objection window closes. Objections generally require a fee per question and supporting evidence, and are only worth raising where you can cite a source. Do not use unofficial keys circulating on social media to estimate cut-offs — they are frequently wrong on exactly the disputed questions.
