UKSSSC Exam Pattern 2026
- Mode: Offline, Objective-type (Multiple Choice Questions)
- Total Marks: 100
- Duration: 2 hours
- Syllabus: Based on the educational qualification prescribed for each post — refer to Appendix 1 of the official notification for the topic-wise breakdown.
- Qualifying Marks: 45% for Unreserved and OBC candidates; 35% for SC/ST candidates.
- Negative Marking: One-fourth mark deducted per wrong answer. Marking two answers for one question also counts as wrong. No deduction for unattempted questions.
- OMR Sheet Rule: Answer sheets come in triplicate — you submit two copies to the invigilator and keep the third. Using whitener or scratching the OMR sheet triggers negative marking, so double-check before you bubble in an answer.
- You’re allowed to carry the question booklet home after the offline exam — useful for matching your answers against the official answer key later.
💡 Pro Tip: Since the syllabus is tied directly to your educational qualification rather than a fixed pattern, commerce graduates preparing for this exam should revisit core accountancy, taxation basics, and computer fundamentals rather than generic reasoning and GK-heavy prep.
