With the exam date approaching fast, this announcement marks the beginning of the final preparation phase for applicants.

Exam Scheduled for Mid-October

The PCS Preliminary exam is set to be conducted in offline mode across multiple districts in Uttar Pradesh. The examination will take place in two shifts, following the traditional OMR-based format. Candidates are advised to carefully check the reporting time mentioned on their admit card, as late entry will not be permitted under any circumstances.

• Father’s / Mother’s Name
• Date of Birth
• Exam Centre Name and Address
• Shift Timing and Reporting Time
• Essential Instructions for Examination Day

Applicants must verify all details immediately after downloading. Any error—especially in personal information or photograph—should be reported to UPPSC authorities without delay.
