Here is an important update for candidates who have not yet applied for the UP Preliminary Eligibility Test (UPSSSC PET) 2026. The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) has set September 1, 2026, as the last date to apply for the UP PET exam. Candidates aspiring to secure jobs in Uttar Pradesh—including Group 'C' posts such as Lekhpal, VDO, and Forest Guard—should fill out the online form immediately without delay. The deadline for fee adjustment and form modification is September 8, 2026.

**Eligibility: From Class 10 Pass to Higher Education**
To apply for the UP PET exam, candidates must have passed at least Class 10 from a recognized board. Students who complete Class 10 (or an equivalent qualification) by the application deadline are also eligible to apply.
Additionally, the candidate's age must be between 18 and 40 years as of July 1, 2026. Candidates belonging to reserved categories will receive age relaxation as per the rules.

**Application Process**
The UP PET application form can be filled out in four stages. In the first stage, candidates must complete the authentication process (OTR). After the One-Time Registration, candidates should register for the exam. Subsequently, they must pay the fee according to their category and finally take a printout of the application for their records.

**Category-wise Fees**
Candidates belonging to the General and OBC categories are required to pay a fee of ₹185. Candidates from the SC/ST categories must pay ₹95, while those from the PH (Physically Handicapped) category are required to pay ₹25. The fee can be paid online.
