Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can candidates without a UP PET-2025 scorecard apply for this recruitment?

No. Possessing a valid UPSSSC PET-2025 scorecard with positive marks is an absolute mandatory requirement. Candidates who did not take PET-2025 or who scored zero or negative marks are ineligible.

Is the CCC computer certificate compulsory for all advertised posts?

The CCC certificate from NIELIT is mandatory for Gram Panchayat Adhikari and Gram Vikas Adhikari posts. Candidates without a CCC certificate can still apply for other posts like Amin and Storekeeper where standard Intermediate pass qualifications suffice.
