उत्तर प्रदेश लोक सेवा आयोग (Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission, UPPSC), Prayagraj, is the state commission that publishes recruitment advertisements, runs examinations and releases results for Uttar Pradesh government posts. This page explains what the commission’s website offers, how its notices are organised and how to follow them in the 2026 cycle.
Updated: 9 November 2026. Facts below come from the commission’s home page and Notifications page as read on this date.
What does the उत्तर प्रदेश लोक सेवा आयोग do?
The commission’s website is titled “UPPSC, Prayagraj”, and its menus cover examinations, recruitment, the exam calendar, candidate services, results and previous year question papers. The recruitment menu groups advertisements by mode, such as interview only, examination only, examination and interview, and pre-exam, main exam and interview.
| Section | What you find |
|---|---|
| Examinations | Active and forthcoming exams, exam calendar |
| Recruitment | Notifications, apply online, recruitment modes |
| Candidate Corner | Dashboard, admit card, syllabus, papers |
| Results and notices | Results, press releases, display notices |
| OTR | Registration, user manual, know your OTR number |
The home page also carries a “What’s New” list of results and notices, each with a “visible up to” date. That date shows how long a notice stays on the home page. It is not an application deadline.
Which UPPSC recruitments are open now?
Two advertisements were open for online applications on the Notifications page on 9 November 2026. Both use the One Time Registration (OTR) process.
| Advertisement | Posts | Last date |
|---|---|---|
| A-5/E-1/2026 | Assistant Architect Planner, Sports Officer, Programmer Grade-2 | 4 Dec 2026 |
Vacancies, fee amounts and eligibility are in each advertisement PDF and are not repeated here. The commission also lists an “UPPSC Exam Calendar 2026” notice on the home page, visible up to 31 December 2026.
How do you apply for a UPPSC recruitment?
You apply online through the Candidate Dashboard with your OTR number. The commission states that the applicant’s OTR number is the only registration number for submitting an application against any post it publishes.
How to apply on the UPPSC website
- Register for OTR
- Log in to Candidate Dashboard
- Open the live advertisement
- Read the PDF
- Fill and submit the form
- Save the final copy
| If you are… | Do this | Why |
|---|---|---|
| New to UPPSC | Create your OTR | It is needed to apply |
| Forgot your OTR number | Use “Know your OTR number” | It is on the OTR menu |
| Targeting PCS | Follow the Exam Calendar 2026 | It is the official schedule |
| Applying for a live post | Submit before the last date | Portals slow near deadlines |
How should you prepare for UPPSC exams?
Build a base in General Hindi, General Studies and Uttar Pradesh knowledge, since these recur across UPPSC recruitments. Read the syllabus and scheme only from the advertisement of the exam you target. For orientation, the UPPSC exam guide maps the stages, and the current affairs section supports daily revision.
How do you read a UPPSC notice without mistakes?
Every notice carries an advertisement number, a heading and a “visible up to” date, and these three details tell you what the notice is about. Match the advertisement number to your exam first, then read the heading, and only then act on the content.
| Part of the notice | What it tells you | Common error |
|---|---|---|
| Advertisement number | The recruitment it belongs to | Reading a notice of another exam |
| Heading | Result, notice, corrigendum or list | Taking a notice for a result |
| Visible up to | How long it stays on the home page | Treating it as a deadline |
| PDF attachment | The full official text | Relying on summaries |
For example, a notice regarding Advertisement No. A-1/E-1/2025, Combined State/Upper Subordinate Services Exam-2025, was visible on the home page up to 10 November 2026. Its number tells you it belongs to the earlier PCS cycle, not to the live 2026 advertisements. Open the PDF on the official site for what it says.
- Mixing up the “visible up to” date with the last date to apply.
- Applying without an OTR.
- Using vacancy numbers from third-party pages.
- Ignoring notices posted after the advertisement.
- UPPSC, Prayagraj, publishes all advertisements and results at uppsc.up.nic.in.
- Your OTR number is the only registration number for applying.
- “Visible up to” is not a deadline.
- Take vacancies, fees and eligibility only from the PDF.
