The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) has announced the Preliminary Eligibility Test (PET) Result 2025. The exam was held on September 6 and 7, 2025, across Uttar Pradesh. More than 19 lakh candidates appeared for this important test, which acts as the first step for recruitment into Group B and Group C government posts. The results were released on December 5, 2025, on the official website upsssc.gov.in..
What is PET?
The PET exam is a screening test. It does not give a job directly but decides who can apply for further recruitment exams. Candidates who pass PET can take part in future selection processes for posts like clerks, junior assistants, technicians, and other Group B and C positions. The PET certificate is valid for three years, which means candidates can use it for multiple recruitment cycles without retaking the exam.
How to Check the Result:
Candidates can check their results by visiting the UPSSSC official website. They need to enter their registration number, date of birth, gender, and captcha code to download the scorecard. The scorecard shows marks, rank, and qualifying status.
Cutoff Marks:
The cutoff marks vary by category:
- General/UR: 60–65
- OBC: 58–63
