The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission is holding the Preliminary Eligibility Test 2026 on Friday, 30 October, and Sunday, 1 November, in two daily shifts: 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. More than 35 lakh candidates have applied for the exam, which is a mandatory qualifying test for Group B and C posts such as Lekhpal and VDO. The exam is being held across more than 60 districts and over 1,300 centres.

Candidates must carry a printed admit card, a valid original photo ID such as Aadhaar, Voter ID, or PAN card, and an additional passport-size photograph if needed. Mobile phones, smartwatches, Bluetooth devices, calculators, books, and bags are prohibited. Candidates should reach their centre at least two hours before the reporting time printed on their admit card and check the full centre address in advance to avoid delays.
Because the UPSSSC PET is a mandatory qualifying test for Group B and C posts, the outcome directly affects lakhs of candidates competing for roles such as Lekhpal and VDO. The source provides the exam days, shift timings, and document requirements but leaves unresolved how the commission will handle candidates who arrive without the required admit card or photo ID. The concrete next step is for the remaining candidates to report to their examination centres on Friday, 30 October, or Sunday, 1 November, at the shift times printed on their admit cards.
