The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) has released the UPSSSC PET Admit Card 2026 on 15 October 2026 on its official website, upsssc.gov.in. Candidates who applied for the Preliminary Eligibility Test (PET) 2026 can now download their hall ticket using their registration number and date of birth. The PET 2026 written examination will be held on 25 October, 30 October and 1 November 2026 in two shifts each day. Read the official admit card for the exam centre, reporting time, shift and all other instructions.

The UPSSSC PET is the mandatory qualifying examination for Group B and Group C recruitments conducted by the commission. A valid PET score is required to apply for most UPSSSC recruitments announced after the PET. The exam city intimation was released earlier on 12 October 2026; candidates should check the final centre details printed on the admit card and not rely only on the city slip.

The examination is conducted in two fixed shifts on each of the three days. Candidates must appear on the exact date and shift printed on their admit card. The two shifts are:

  1. Shift 1: 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
  2. Shift 2: 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM

Candidates should reach the examination centre well before the reporting time printed on the hall ticket. Late entry is not allowed after the gate closes. The exam is held in the offline OMR format across centres in Uttar Pradesh.
