The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) held the Preliminary Eligibility Test (PET) 2026 on 25 October, 30 October and 1 November 2026. The exam was conducted in two shifts: 10 am to 12 noon and 3 pm to 5 pm. Candidates who took the test are now awaiting the next recruitment stage.

PET scores are used to shortlist applicants for main examinations for Group C posts in various state departments. Recruitment opportunities after passing PET include posts such as lekhpal, village development officer and others. The commission will call candidates for the main exam based on PET marks. No date for the main examination has been announced yet.
PET is the gatekeeper for Group C posts in Uttar Pradesh's subordinate services. Candidates who sat the exam in late October and early November must now wait for the commission to shortlist them for main exams based on PET scores. The notice clarifies which posts─from lekhpal to village development officer─become accessible after passing. UPSSSC has not announced the date for the main examinations. Until it does, candidates have only the list of possible posts and no timeline for the next stage.
