Eligibility Criteria

Who Can Apply?

✅ You must have appeared in the UP PET 2025 and hold a valid scorecard. Without it, you cannot submit this application.

✅ For the officer post, a bachelor’s degree in any stream is enough.

✅ For Exercise Trainer, a graduation degree is not enough on its own. You also need a physical education qualification such as D.P.Ed, B.P.Ed, B.P.E or a graduation in Physical Education.

You must also meet the physical measurement and fitness standards listed further down in this post.

Age Limit (as on 1 July 2026)

💡 Pro Tip: Working backwards from the cut-off date, the age window works out to roughly 2 July 1985 to 1 July 2005 as your date of birth. Confirm the exact birth-date range in the notification before you apply.

Application Fee

The fee is the same for every category, and it is one of the lowest you will see in a state recruitment. You can adjust the fee payment and correct the form until 13 November 2026.

UPSSSC Regional Youth Welfare Officer Salary 2026

The notice lists two pay levels for these posts under the Uttar Pradesh pay matrix.

Which post falls under which level is [Check official notification]. Selected candidates start at the lower end of the band and move up with annual increments.

On top of the basic pay, you can expect Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA) and other admissible allowances as per Uttar Pradesh government rules. Your take-home depends on the current DA rate and your posting city.

Here is a simple way to estimate it. Take the starting basic pay, add DA as a percentage of basic, add HRA, then subtract deductions such as the pension contribution and income tax. For example, with a starting basic of ₹29,200 and a purely hypothetical DA of 50%, DA would come to ₹14,600 a month. Use the current DA rate announced by the UP government for your real figure.

Physical Measurement Test (PMT) – Height and Chest Standards

Shortlisted candidates must clear a Physical Measurement Test (PMT). This is a qualifying stage, so you cannot afford to be even slightly short.

Physical Efficiency Test (PET) – Events and Qualifying Marks

The Physical Efficiency Test (PET) is also qualifying. Do not confuse it with the UP PET 2025 eligibility exam. The first is a fitness test on the ground, and the second is the written eligibility test that gives you your scorecard.

Selection Process

Selection happens in five stages. Here is what each one means for you:

1. Shortlisting on normalised UP PET 2025 score: Your PET 2025 result decides whether you get through to the next stage. This score is already fixed, so you cannot improve it for this recruitment.
2. Mains written exam (100 marks): This is the main scoring stage. The syllabus and pattern are [Check official notification].
3. PMT and PET: Both are qualifying. You must meet the height and chest standards and the fitness minimums above.
4. Document verification: Your certificates, category proof and PET 2025 scorecard are checked.
5. Medical examination: The final fitness check before selection.

There is no interview mentioned in the stages listed.

Should You Apply? A Quick Reality Check

If you hold a graduation degree and a PET 2025 scorecard, this recruitment is worth a serious look. The fee is just ₹25, and 412 posts is a healthy number for a single advertisement.

The catch is the physical stage. Many written-exam aspirants lose out at the PMT or PET, so check your height and chest numbers now. If you are close to the limits, find out where you stand before you pay the fee.

A sensible way to prepare while the syllabus is awaited:

• Start ground practice for the events in your category right away, because fitness takes weeks to build.
• Keep your PET 2025 scorecard, degree marksheets and category certificate scanned and ready.
• Begin revising Uttar Pradesh general knowledge and current affairs for the Mains. This is general advice, not an official syllabus.
