UPSSSC Exam Calendar 2026 — Every Mains Exam Date from September to December

Short Information

UPSSSC has published its examination and interview calendar for January to December 2026, listing 50 entries with the date and sitting for each. Everything below is the Commission's own proposed schedule — no forecast, no estimate. It is worth reading for what it tells you about your own paper: the Commission runs two mains examinations on the same day, one at 10:00 AM and another at 3:00 PM, so 20 and 27 September, 22 and 29 November and 20 December each carry two different recruitments. One row is already out of date — the calendar put PET 2026 at simply October, and a separate notice of 9 September has since fixed it to 23, 24 and 25 October.

Vacancy Details

Eligibility

• The calendar covers examinations and interviews of the Commission from January 2026 to December 2026, in 50 numbered entries.
• Dates are described by the Commission as proposed, and it states expressly that in special circumstances it may change them.
• Every date listed above is the Commission's own. Nothing on this page is an expected or predicted date.
• Two mains examinations are scheduled on each of several days, in two sittings — 10:00 AM to 12:00 noon and 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. A candidate qualified for both papers of such a pair sits one in the morning and the other in the afternoon.
• That pairing applies to 20 September, 27 September, 22 November, 29 November and 20 December 2026.
• The Hindi shorthand and typing tests for the Stenographer mains under Advertisements 09-Exam/2023 and 13-Exam/2024 are proposed from 1 September 2026.
• Interviews for several Instructor posts under Advertisements 20(7)/2015 and 16(4)/2016 — Fitter, Draughtsman (Mechanical), Information Technology and Electronics System Maintenance, Mechanic (Diesel Engine), Turner and Machinist — are listed only by month, across August to October 2026.
• The Junior Assistant typing test under Advertisement 12-Exam/2024 is listed for December 2026 by month, without a date.
• One entry has already been superseded. The calendar placed the Preliminary Eligibility Test 2026 under Advertisement 16-Exam/2026 in the month of October; the Commission's notice of 9 September 2026 fixed it at 23, 24 and 25 October 2026, in two sittings each day.
• The calendar carries number 1061/20/Teen(Pari-1)/2025/Khand-1, is dated 3 August 2026, and is signed by the Controller of Examinations.

How to Apply

1. Find the advertisement number of the recruitment you are in — it is on your application printout — and match it against the entries above.
2. If your two recruitments fall on the same date, check the sittings before booking travel; they are morning and afternoon on one day, not two days.
3. Treat the dates as proposed. The Commission reserves the right to change them in special circumstances, and it announces any change through upsssc.gov.in.
4. For a mains examination, remember that the exam-district intimation and the admit card both open only after the mains examination fee is paid.
5. Check the Commission's notice board before travelling — a fresh notice supersedes the calendar, as the PET 2026 entry already shows.
