UPSSSC PET 2026 applications close today, September 7, 2026. The Commission has allowed a short correction and fee adjustment window tomorrow, September 8. Apply only on the official portal, upsssc.gov.in, and avoid last‑minute rush as servers may slow under peak load. The extension followed widespread OTR and OTP glitches.
Who should register now? Anyone targeting upcoming UPSSSC Group C recruitments must take the Preliminary Eligibility Test. PET scores are used to shortlist candidates for mains, typing or skill tests across multiple notifications, reducing duplicate prelims and saving time. The requirement is explicitly tied to UPSSSC’s Group C pipeline.

The revised deadline covers registration, fee payment, and final submission today; limited corrections are permitted tomorrow, September 8. Application fees are Rs 185 for General or OBC, Rs 95 for SC or ST, and Rs 25 for Persons with Disabilities, payable via card, net banking, UPI, or SBI challan.
If OTPs delay or fail, try switching data to Wi‑Fi, or vice versa, and avoid repeated requests within a minute. Use the email‑based OTP if available, clear cache, and attempt during off‑peak hours. Candidates reported OTP issues earlier; today’s cut‑off increases traffic, so start early.
Keep Class 10 certificate, Aadhaar, domicile, category or EWS certificate, and disability proof, if applicable. Prepare a recent passport photo and a clean signature image in JPG format; many UP portals accept photos around 50–100 KB and signatures around 30–50 KB. Check on‑screen size prompts before upload.
Complete One‑Time Registration, verify via OTP, and populate personal details. Enter academic data carefully, then upload photo and signature per on‑screen rules. Choose district preferences, preview the form, pay the fee, and confirm reconciliation. Finally, download and print the application and payment receipt for future Group C notifications.
The exam date is awaited; media trackers indicate October as likely, though not official. In 2025, PET ran on September 6–7, with answer key action soon after, and subsequent mains notifications drawing on PET scores. Expect a similar cadence; monitor the UPSSSC portal daily after applying.
