Uttar Pradesh Government Jobs: Exams, Bodies & How to Apply

Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous state, runs some of the country's largest government recruitments — civil services, Group C posts, teachers, police and power-sector jobs. Knowing which body recruits for what, and the role of the UPSSSC PET, helps you target the right exam.

This guide maps the main recruiting bodies in UP, the major exams and who can apply. Eligibility, vacancies and dates change with each notification, so confirm on the official site and track live UP vacancies on GovtNaukri365.

Who recruits for UP government jobs?

• Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) — gazetted posts via the UPPSC PCS exam and other officer recruitments.
• UP Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) — Group C posts, for which the Preliminary Eligibility Test (PET) is the gateway.
• UP Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC) — teacher recruitment.
• UP Police Recruitment & Promotion Board (UPPRPB) — police constables and sub-inspectors.
• Bodies like UPPCL (power) and the health department recruit for their own posts.

The UPSSSC PET — your gateway to Group C jobs

For most UPSSSC Group C recruitments, you first need a valid score in the Preliminary Eligibility Test (PET), held once a year. You then apply to specific posts (and any main exam/skill test) using that PET score, so taking the PET early is the practical first step for UP Group C jobs.

Major UP government exams

• UPPSC PCS — for Deputy Collector, DSP and other state-cadre officer posts (graduate-level).
• UPSSSC PET, followed by post-specific recruitments (Lekhpal, junior assistant and many others).
• UPTET / Super-TET — for teacher eligibility and recruitment.
• UP Police Constable and Sub-Inspector (via UPPRPB).

Eligibility and how to apply

Eligibility depends on the post — from 10th/12th pass for many Group C and police roles to a bachelor's degree for UPPSC officer posts. Hindi proficiency is needed for many roles, and UP domicile brings age and reservation benefits, though many posts are open to all.

Applications are made online on the relevant body's official portal. Keep your documents, photo and signature ready, take the UPSSSC PET if you are targeting Group C jobs, and apply before the closing date.
