UPSSSC Recruitment 2026: There is good news for young people preparing for government jobs in Uttar Pradesh.

The online application process for this recruitment began on September 14, 2026, and eligible candidates can apply until October 5, 2026. A crucial aspect of this recruitment is that not all candidates will directly appear for the Senior Instructor Main Examination. Candidates will be shortlisted for the Main Examination based on their PET-2025 scores; therefore, having appeared for PET-2025 and possessing a valid scorecard is mandatory to apply for this recruitment. Candidates can fill out the online form by visiting the official UPSSSC website, upsssc.gov.in.

Why is appearing for PET-2025 mandatory?
To appear for the Senior Instructor recruitment Main Examination, it is mandatory for a candidate to have taken the PET-2025 exam and possess a valid PET-2025 scorecard. The Commission will select candidates for the Main Examination at a ratio of 15 times the number of available vacancies, categorized by post and category. This selection will be based on the scores obtained in PET-2025; however, there is a vital condition: candidates with a PET-2025 score of zero or less will not be shortlisted for the Main Examination.
