If you’re planning to appear for the UPSSSC PET 2025, you’re in the right place. Let’s walk through everything you need to know — from application dates and exam pattern to admit card info and pay scale — in a friendly, easy-to-understand way.
1. Opening and Closing Date
The online application for UPSSSC PET started on 14 May 2025 and the last date to apply was 17 June 2025. There was also a correction window open until 24 June 2025.
2. Exam Date & City / Centre Details
The UPSSSC PET exam date 2025 is set for 6 and 7 September 2025. It will be held across 48 districts in two daily shifts — 10 AM to 12 PM and 3 PM to 5 PM.
On 27 August 2025, the exam city intimation slip was released on the upsssc.gov.in platform, telling candidates which city they’ve been assigned.
3. How to Download the City Slip and Admit Card
- Visit the UPSSSC official website (upsssc.gov.in).
- Click on the “UPSSSC PET City Intimation 2025” link under latest notifications.
- Log in by entering your registration number and date of birth (and any captcha, if prompted).
- Download and print your city intimation slip.
Please remember, the city slip is not your admit card. Your UPSSSC PET admit card 2025 is expected to be released shortly, and you’ll also download it from the same site using the same login method.
4. Age Limit & Essential Qualifications
To be eligible, you must be between 18 and 40 years as of July 1, 2025, with age relaxations following the standard rules. You also need at least a high school (10th) pass certificate or equivalent.
5. Pay Scale & Validity of PET Score
The PET helps you qualify for Group C (and some Group B) positions with initial pay scales generally falling between Pay Scale 1 (₹5,200–20,200 + Grade Pay ₹1,900) to Pay Scale 2 (₹9,300–34,800 + Grade Pay ₹4,600). With allowances like DA and HRA, your in-hand pay can range between ₹25,000 to ₹37,000. Your PET score remains valid for three years.
6. Scheme of Examination
UPSSSC PET is an offline, OMR-based preliminary test. It covers general knowledge, current affairs, reasoning, Hindi, basic math, and general science. The test duration is 120 minutes. Negative marking applies — you lose ¼ mark for each wrong answer.
7. Examination Fee
Application fee details vary based on category and will be clearly mentioned during application on upsssc.gov.in.
8. Number of Vacancies & Post Details
PET itself is a qualifying test, so it doesn’t announce vacancies directly. Once you clear the exam, you can apply to various Group B and C posts such as Lekhpal, Junior Assistant, Forester, and more.
9. How to Apply & Mode of Payment
Applications were submitted online through the upsssc.gov.in portal between 14 May and 17 June 2025, with corrections allowed until 24 June 2025. Payment was made online using the standard methods like net banking, debit/credit card, or UPI.
10. Results
Results will be declared once the test is conducted. You can check them on the upsssc.gov.in portal.
