Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Apply only through the OTR-based online system at uppsc.up.nic.in — applications through any other medium are not accepted.
- Double-check your date of birth against your High School Certificate before submitting; it is the only accepted proof and cannot be corrected later.
- Select your category/sub-category correctly in OTR — no changes are entertained after the correction deadline (10.09.2026).
- Computer Operator Grade-B applicants must be confident of the mandatory 25 wpm (Hindi) / 40 wpm (English) typing speed — failing to meet it disqualifies the candidature regardless of written marks.
- Keep the fee payment receipt and the printed application form safe; you may need to produce them later for any discrepancy.
- The Commission does not advise on eligibility — carefully re-check the qualification and age criteria for your specific post before applying.
