Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not enter your PET roll number in place of your candidate registration number — the result panel accepts only the registration number issued against this advertisement.
- Your date of birth and gender must match your UPSSSC application form exactly; even a one-day mismatch returns a blank result screen.
- Do not treat 74.08 as a pass mark for everyone — that figure is the UR, OBC and EWS cut-off, while SC and ST candidates were shortlisted at 69.63 and 50.07 respectively.
- Candidates who scored zero or negative marks in PET-2025 were excluded before the merit list was drawn, so a valid application alone did not guarantee shortlisting.
- Save a PDF and a printout of your result page now — the notice is scheduled to stay on the UPSSSC website only till 16.09.2026.
- Being shortlisted is not selection; the 208 posts will be filled from the Mains examination, so start Mains preparation instead of waiting for a joining letter.
