UPSSSC PET 2026 Exam Date Announced — Written Test on 23, 24 and 25 October
Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC), Lucknow · Post Date:
Short Information
UPSSSC has fixed the Preliminary Eligibility Test 2026 under Advertisement No. 16-Exam/2026 for three consecutive days — 23, 24 and 25 October 2026 — with two sittings on each of those days. That is six sittings in total, so your paper could fall in any one of them, and the Commission has not yet said which. The exam district and the admit card are separate releases that UPSSSC says it will announce later on its website; nothing about your centre is knowable from this notice alone. PET is the gate for almost every UPSSSC Group C mains examination, so the score card this exam produces is what lets you apply for the recruitments the Commission advertises over the following year.

- Each of those days carries two sittings: the first from 10:00 AM to 12:00 noon and the second from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
- The notice does not allot sittings or districts. Which of the six sittings you sit in is decided later and reaches you through the admit card process.

How to Apply
- Keep 23, 24 and 25 October 2026 free — you cannot yet tell which day or sitting you will be called for.
- Watch upsssc.gov.in for the separate exam-district intimation and then the admit card; UPSSSC releases those as two different downloads, usually days apart.
- Download the admit card through the Examination segment on the UPSSSC homepage once it is announced.
- Do not rely on any date circulating elsewhere — this notice is the Commission's own and supersedes earlier speculation about the PET schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is UPSSSC PET 2026?
23, 24 and 25 October 2026. Each day has two sittings — 10:00 AM to 12:00 noon and 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
Which day and shift will I get?
The notice does not say. UPSSSC allots the day, sitting and district later, and you learn it from the exam-district intimation and the admit card.
When will the PET 2026 admit card come out?
UPSSSC has not given a date. The notice says only that candidates will be informed separately through the website in due course.
Why does PET matter?
The PET score card is what makes you eligible to apply for UPSSSC mains examinations. Most Group C advertisements the Commission issues accept only candidates who sat PET and hold a score card for it.
