The Preliminary Eligibility Test (PET) is conducted by the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC).
It serves as a qualifying exam for various Group “C” posts in the state government — such as clerks, junior assistants, technicians, and other similar roles.
- PET is the first stage of recruitment.
- Candidates who clear PET become eligible to appear for Main examinations, skill tests, or interviews for different vacancies advertised by UPSSSC.
- The test is conducted once a year, in offline (OMR-based) mode.

- Candidates must log in, select the question they want to challenge, and upload supporting documents/proof.
- A small fee per objection is usually charged.

4️⃣ Expected Result Date

5️⃣ Cut-off Trends & Tips for Next Stages

- The PET cut-off varies each year based on the number of candidates, exam difficulty, and available vacancies.
- Previous years’ general cut-off scores were usually between 60–75 marks (out of 100).
- Reserved categories often have slightly lower cut-offs.
Tips for Next Stages:
- Once you clear the PET, regularly check UPSSSC notifications for Mains exam advertisements.
- Download the syllabus for the specific post you want to apply for and start preparing early.
