UPPSC PCS – live updates

UPPSC PCS Prelims 2026 overview

UPPSC issued Advertisement A-1/E-1/2026 for the Combined State/Upper Subordinate Services Examination on 25 June 2026. The official notifications page shows the application last date as 03 August 2026 and modification dates up to 10 August 2026. The official notice remains the controlling document when the summary on this page differs from a later corrigendum.

UPPSC PCS exam pattern and key facts

This section gives the practical facts a candidate usually needs before opening the full notice. Post-wise exceptions, reservation rules and later corrigenda still apply where the recruiting organisation publishes them.

UPPSC PCS important dates

Do not wait for the last day if the application window is open. Portals can slow down near closing time, and a payment success message is not the same as a successfully submitted final form. Download the confirmation page.

Eligibility and age limit

A bachelor’s degree from a recognised institution is required for the broad PCS services. Age is 21-40 years as on 01.07.2026, with category-wise relaxation. Some posts carry additional subject, physical or service conditions. Read post-wise conditions carefully. A certificate issued after the prescribed cut-off date may not support a claim, so candidates should not rely on an informal summary when the notification gives a different rule.

Vacancy, application fee and salary

The fee and pay details can change through a corrigendum. Use the official application screen for the amount charged to your category and do not pay through an unofficial link.

Selection process

Preliminary exam has two compulsory papers: GS-I has 150 questions/200 marks and GS-II has 100 questions/200 marks, both 2 hours; GS-II is qualifying at 33% and GS-I decides prelim merit. Shortlisted candidates take the Main Examination and then the 100-mark interview where prescribed. The later-stage schedule is normally published on the same official portal. Candidates should check the website using the saved registration details instead of relying on forwarded messages.

How to apply online

1. Open the official apply online page.
2. Read the advertisement, post list and eligibility conditions before registration.
3. Enter personal, educational, category and address details exactly as shown in the original documents.
4. Upload the photograph, signature and certificates in the file size and format specified by the portal.
5. Pay the applicable fee through the official payment gateway, where required.
6. Preview the form, correct spelling and date-of-birth errors, then submit it.
7. Download the final application, fee receipt and confirmation page for future use.

Documents to keep ready

Keep the OTR number, submitted form, fee receipt, degree documents, category certificate and correction confirmation for later stages. Use clear scans and keep the originals safe. Mismatched names, expired certificates and unclear photographs are common reasons for later verification problems.

What happens after the form?

Applicants should keep checking the official source until the complete selection cycle ends. Do not assume that a page is active simply because an old application link still opens.

Important Links

This final Important Links table is the single row-based directory for official destinations and future scope posts. New genuine spoke links must be inserted into this table, newest or most relevant scope rows at the top, without creating another Important Links H2.
