📌 UPSSSC PET 2025 Cutoff for ASO 2026

Because the academic qualification (Master’s in Stats/Math/Comm) is very niche, the PET 2025 safe score for ASO is expected to be relatively low compared to General posts like VDO or Lekhpal. Based on previous trends:

• General / OBC / EWS: 15-20 Safe Score (Positive Score)
• SC / ST: 5-10 Safe Score

Since only 15 times the number of vacancies are called, but for technical posts, nearly every eligible candidate with a positive PET score gets the chance to appear in the Main exam.
