Who Is Allowed to Apply

The Commission follows a two-stage system, where PET comes first and the Main Examination second. For this recruitment, a candidate can apply only if they appeared in PET-2025 and the Commission has issued their score card. Candidates are shortlisted for the written exam on the basis of their normalised PET-2025 score, in order of merit.

Candidates with a zero, negative or lower actual score or normalised score in PET-2025 will not be shortlisted. Cases marked as Under Investigation or Provisional at the Commission level are allowed to apply provisionally, but their shortlisting and selection will depend on the outcome of that inquiry.

Important Dates

No application or fee is accepted after 6 November 2026. Your printout will not be available until the bank reconciles your fee, so the Commission advises that reconciliation be completed on 6 November 2026 or within seven days, that is by 13 November 2026.

Application Fee

No application fee is charged. Only an online process fee is collected, and it is the same across the four main categories.

Candidates from the freedom fighter dependent, ex-servicemen, women, divyang and outstanding sportsperson groups pay the fee of their original category among the four above. The examination fee for the Main Examination is separate. It is payable only by shortlisted candidates, before they download the admit card.

Payment can be made through credit card, debit card, net banking, UPI or an SBI e-challan. No other mode is allowed.

Vacancy Details

The 412 posts are split across four lines, two for each post. Two of the lines are marked Special Selection and have no unreserved seats.

Horizontal Reservation

The notification also lists horizontal reservation within these posts, shown below.

The posts have been re-identified to provide 4 percent horizontal reservation to persons with disabilities. The table lists no disability sub-category seats for the Dal Adhikari posts and zero Hard of Hearing seats for Vyayam Prashikshak. Disabled candidates must update their disability category or sub-category in the form. The Commission also notes that vacancy numbers can change as reservation rules are updated.

The upper limit is higher for SC, ST and other categories, by the number of years the government notifies. Employees of state services get a relaxation of five years in the maximum age. Chief Minister Fellowship researchers get relaxation in the age limit and preference as per the 2026 rules mentioned in the notification. The date of birth recorded in the High School or equivalent certificate is the only one accepted.

Selection Process

Selection is based on a written examination. The process runs in these steps:

1. Candidates appear in PET-2025 and receive a score card.
2. Candidates apply online for this recruitment using the PET-2025 registration number.
3. The Commission shortlists candidates for the written exam from the normalised PET-2025 score. Category-wise, 15 times the number of advertised vacancies are shortlisted, including everyone tied at the final cut-off score, which is counted up to two decimal places.
4. Shortlisted candidates take the Main Examination, which is a written test.
5. Candidates shortlisted on written exam marks take the physical measurement test and the physical eligibility test. Both are qualifying, and the merit list is prepared on the basis of written exam marks.

If the written exam is held in more than one shift or on more than one day, scores are normalised as per the Commission's notice dated 22 May 2019. The exam date will be announced later on the Commission's website. Candidates will also give their post preference at the time of document verification, and the Commission will allot posts as far as possible on the basis of availability, merit, qualification and age, with its decision being final.

Exam Pattern and Syllabus

The written exam is a single paper with 100 objective multiple-choice questions to be completed in two hours (120 minutes). Each question is worth one mark. There is negative marking of 25 percent, that is one-fourth of the marks, for every wrong answer.

What the Syllabus Covers

Part 1 is the widest section. Besides history, polity, geography and economy, it asks about road safety (including the Motor Vehicles Act, 2019 and the Good Samaritan concept), rules and achievements in sports such as athletics, judo, kabaddi, volleyball, badminton, wrestling, weightlifting, football, swimming and kho-kho, elementary human anatomy, environment and disaster management (including the Disaster Management Act, 2005, NDMA, SDMA, NDRF and SDRF), and reading data from graphs and diagrams.

Part 2 tests computer and IT knowledge, such as hardware and software, input and output, internet protocol and IP address, e-mail, MS-Word and MS-Excel, operating systems, social networking, e-governance, digital financial tools, cyber security, and newer areas like artificial intelligence, big data, machine learning and the Internet of Things.

Part 3 is about Uttar Pradesh: its history, culture, art, architecture, festivals, folk dances, literature, regional languages, tourism, geography, natural resources, economy, agriculture, industry, administration and recent achievements.

Physical Standards and Physical Tests

These tests take place only after the written exam, and only for candidates shortlisted from it. They are qualifying in nature.

Physical Measurement Test for Both Posts

Physical Eligibility Test for Dal Adhikari

Candidates must score at least 10 marks in each of the four events and at least 45 marks in total. A candidate who appears in only three events and still reaches 45 marks or more is also treated as qualified.

Male candidates

Female candidates

Physical Eligibility Test for Vyayam Prashikshak

This test is built around Indian exercise and gymnastics, and the minimum marks are set for each group of events.
