PET Selection Procedure & Exam Pattern
UPSSSC follows a two-stage screening process for its Group ‘C’ posts. Candidates first need to clear PET-2026, and only those who qualify become eligible to sit for the Main Exam of the post they choose to apply for. Marks scored in PET stay valid for three years from the date the result is published, so a candidate can use one PET score across multiple Main Exams during that window.
