UPSSSC PET Eligibility

The rules below are from the PET 2026 notice as reported in the news. Always read the official notice on upsssc.gov.in for the full conditions.

Educational qualification

You must have passed High School (Class 10) or an equivalent exam from a recognised board. Candidates with higher qualifications can also apply. Note that each recruitment that uses PET has its own qualification. For example, a post may need Class 12, graduation or a technical course, so check the job notice before you apply for that post.

Age limit (as on 1 July 2026)

• Upper age relaxation is given to reserved categories of Uttar Pradesh as per UP government rules. The exact years for each category are given in the official notice.
• The age limit for the actual job is set by each recruitment notice, and it can be different from the PET age limit.

Domicile and reservation

Reservation and age relaxation are given as per Uttar Pradesh government rules, and you need a valid category certificate to claim them. Check the official notice for who can claim each benefit.

Score validity

For PET 2025, the Commission said the score would remain valid for three years from the date it is uploaded. Check the 2026 notice for the validity of the new score.
