About UPSSSC — The Employer

The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) is the state-level recruitment body responsible for filling Group ‘C’ (subordinate services) posts across various departments of the Government of Uttar Pradesh. Established under the UP Subordinate Services Selection Commission Act, UPSSSC operates from its headquarters in Lucknow and conducts examinations including the PET (Preliminary Eligibility Test) and various Mains examinations for graduate and intermediate-level positions.

UPSSSC was set up to bring transparency and merit-based selection to UP’s subordinate services recruitment. In recent years, the Commission shifted to a two-stage selection model — the PET serves as a screening test, and only PET-qualified candidates can appear in the departmental Mains examinations. This system has reduced the burden of conducting multiple preliminary exams and has ensured fairer competition for lakhs of aspirants across the state.

Candidates can track all UPSSSC announcements, results, and admit cards through the official portal upsssc.gov.in. The Commission does not communicate with individual candidates directly — all updates are published on its website.
