District magistrate M Arunmoli reviewed preparations for the PET-2026 examination at the collectorate auditorium in Etah on Wednesday, 21 October 2026. He instructed officials to conduct the exam in a fair, transparent and orderly manner.
The examination will be held on 25 and 30 October and 1 November across 10 centres in the district. A total of 21,312 candidates will appear. Electronic devices will be banned at all centres.
The review signals that the district administration is treating the PET-2026 as a high-logistics operation: 10 centres for 21,312 candidates means an average of over 2,100 per centre. The ban on electronic devices is the standard anti-cheating measure, but enforcement will determine its effectiveness. The key dates are 25 and 30 October and 1 November, three separate testing days, which suggests either multiple shifts or different categories of candidates. The next concrete step is the conduct of the first exam on 25 October.
