UPSSSC has moved PET 2026 to October 25, October 30 and November 1. The change, notified on September 25, reshapes plans for over 35 lakh registered candidates. Many now juggle multiple exams in the same window. Treat this as a planning reset and monitor the official portal closely.
Under the revised plan, PET will run in two shifts on all three days. Shift timings are 10 am to 12 noon, and 3 pm to 5 pm. The earlier October 23, 24 and 25 schedule stands withdrawn. Admit card and city intimation dates are not announced yet. UPSSSC will issue a separate notice.

Use this at‑a‑glance schedule for conflict checks and bookings. Lock your shift day against other tests, internships, or travel. Build margin for biometric verification and frisking at gates, which can slow entry crowds. Keep a buffer of at least 60 minutes before reporting time.
| Date | Shift 1 | Shift 2 |
|---|---|---|
| October 25, 2026 | 10:00 am–12:00 noon | 3:00 pm–5:00 pm |
| October 30, 2026 | 10:00 am–12:00 noon | 3:00 pm–5:00 pm |
| November 1, 2026 | 10:00 am–12:00 noon | 3:00 pm–5:00 pm |
Admit cards and city slips are pending; no release window exists yet. Track only upsssc.gov.in and pariksha.nic.in links, and ignore unofficial mirrors. When activated, download using your registration number and date of birth. Verify name, photo, shift, and venue, then print multiple copies.
SSC CGL Tier‑I is scheduled from September 30 to October 30. It overlaps PET on October 25 and October 30. Check both dashboards today and freeze travel for the non‑clashing date first. Avoid distant, back‑to‑back centres. After admit cards, centre changes are rare; read instructions before requesting help.

Carry a printed admit card, a valid government photo ID, and recent photographs. Persons with Disabilities may use a scribe and compensatory time under national norms. Guidelines allow about 20 minutes extra per exam hour. Keep disability certificates ready and follow scribe approval steps on the admit card.
PET is a qualifying gateway for Group B and Group C recruitments including Lekhpal and Junior Assistant. Expect shortlisting to align after PET results, possibly pushing timelines by a few weeks. Keep revising, plan travel early, and track UPSSSC updates for admit‑card and guideline drops.
