UP UPSSSC Lower PCS Mains Exam City 2026

UP UPSSSC Lower PCS Mains Exam City 2026 — a admit card release — is summarised below. The key figures are an application window closing 25 June 2026 and a fee of ₹25 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 29 May 2026 and close on 25 June 2026, giving candidates 28 days to complete the process. The 28-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 25/06/2026 — 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 (02/07/2026), so errors in the submitted form can be fixed within that period rather than by re-applying. The exam is currently shown for 23/08/2026; 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. On qualifications, the notification states: UPSSSC PET 2025 PET Score Card Bachelor Degree in Any Stream from Any Recognized University. For Executive Officer : Graduation with ‘O’ Level More Post Wise 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.

All fee-paying categories are charged the same ₹25. 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.

Check the admit card for the three things candidates most often get wrong: the reporting time (typically well before the exam time), the exact centre address, and the list of permitted items. Carry a printed copy plus the photo ID named on the card — a digital copy on a phone is not accepted at most centres.
