The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) will conduct the Preliminary Eligibility Test (PET) 2025 from tomorrow, September 6 and September 7, across 48 districts of the state. The UPSSSC PET 2025 will be held in two shifts each day, with the first session from 10 am to 12 noon and the second session from 3 pm to 5 pm.

Candidates going to appear for the exam will have to carry a valid photo ID, the UPSSSC PET 2025 admit card, a water bottle, a mask, and a ballpoint pen to the exam centre. The commission issued the UPSSSC PET 2025 admit card on September 1. Candidates who have not yet downloaded the admit card can do so through the official website at upsssc.gov.in using the registration number, date of birth, and gender information.

The UPSSSC PET is conducted to screen and determine the general eligibility of candidates who wish to apply for various Group B and C posts in the Uttar Pradesh state government. The exam will have 100 multiple-choice questions, carrying a total of 100 marks. For every incorrect answer, 0.25 mark will be deducted as negative marking.
