Rule
Details
Timing method
Manual timing is not allowed. Standardised electronic timing devices with CCTV coverage and biometrics (with adequate backup) will be used to ensure accuracy and prevent impersonation.
Result declaration
The list of successful and unsuccessful candidates will be signed jointly by the committee members and displayed on the notice board at the venue at the end of the day.
Admit card
PET admit cards will be available on uppbpb.gov.in in due course; candidates must download them themselves.
Date and time
The PET date and time will be published on the Board website in due course.
Reporting on the given date
Candidates must appear on their scheduled PET date. No chance will be given after the final date / reserve day for any reason, including pregnancy for women candidates.
If you miss your PET
You can submit a representation with detailed reasons to the district committee on the exam day itself, in person or through a representative. Representations by post, e-mail or any other mode are not considered.
Rescheduling limit
The committee may allow a later date within the PET schedule or the final/reserve day. Only one extra chance is given; failing to appear again means the candidate is treated as failed.
Banned substances
Use of steroids, stimulants or intoxicants during the PET is misconduct. The Board will cancel the candidature after testing and take legal action.
No second attempt
A candidate who fails to meet the standard gets no second chance, and no appeal for a retest is allowed on health or any other ground.
What This Means for You
If you cleared the DV/PST stage, start preparing for the run now and keep an eye on the Board website, because the PET date and admit card have not been announced yet. Here is what to do:
Do not skip your allotted PET date expecting the reserve day, because no chance is given after the final date / reserve day.
Do not send a request for a new date by post or e-mail; it must be given in person or through a representative on the exam day itself.
Do not forget the original Aadhaar card in addition to your photo ID.
Do not take any supplement, steroid or stimulant before the run, as this can cancel your candidature.
Do not expect a retest if you fall short on time; there is no second attempt or appeal.
