Status: Application Open (21/04/2026 – 11/05/2026)
Last updated: 24 Sep 2025
Recruiting authority: Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UPSSSC)

The UPSSSC has announced recruitment for 929 posts of Assistant Statistical Officer and Assistant Research Officer (Statistics) under Advt No. 05/2026. This page is useful for graduates with a post‑graduate degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Economics or Commerce who also hold a computer diploma and seek a Group‑C subordinate service post in Uttar Pradesh. This year the vacancy is notable because the commission has linked eligibility to the UPSSSC PET 2025 score, a change from previous cycles where only academic qualifications were considered. Candidates should verify the PET score requirement before proceeding, as missing this step leads to outright rejection.

• Age as on 01/07/2026: Minimum 21 years, Maximum 40 years (relaxation as per government rules).
• Educational qualification: Post‑graduation passed with Mathematics / Mathematical Statistics / Economics / Commerce / Statistics from a recognised university.
• Computer proficiency: ‘O’ Level diploma from DOEACC or a one‑year diploma in Computer Science from a recognised institute.
• Language: Knowledge of Hindi in Devanagari script (essential).
• Mandatory: Valid UPSSSC PET 2025 score card.

Post name: Assistant Statistical Officer / Assistant Research Officer (Statistics)

Total posts: 929 (distribution across categories as per the official notice).

Candidates should refer to the official notification for category‑wise break‑up and reservation details.

1. Shortlisting based on UPSSSC PET 2025 score (cut‑off decided by the commission).
2. Written examination (objective type) covering General Knowledge, General Hindi, Mathematics/Statistics, and Computer Knowledge.
3. Document verification for those who qualify the written test.
4. Final merit list prepared on the basis of written exam marks (PET score is only a qualifying criterion).

The written exam consists of 100 multiple‑choice questions, each carrying one mark. There is a negative marking of 0.25 marks for every wrong answer. Duration: 2 hours. No interview is conducted for this recruitment.

Admit cards will be available for download from the UPSSSC website a few days before the exam. Candidates must log in with their registration number and date of birth. Results will be published in the same portal after the exam; successful candidates will be called for document verification.

Apply if: You have a post‑graduate degree in a relevant subject, possess a computer diploma, and have a valid UPSSSC PET 2025 score. You are comfortable with objective‑type exams and can manage negative marking.

Do not apply if: You lack the PET 2025 score card (the commission does not accept other exam scores), or you do not meet the computer proficiency requirement. Also, if you are unwilling to travel to the exam centre within Uttar Pradesh, reconsider.

• Overlooking the PET 2025 score requirement and assuming only academic qualifications matter.
• Entering incorrect details in the application form (especially the PET registration number) leading to mismatch during verification.
• Waiting until the last day to pay the fee, risking transaction failures.
• Not keeping a scanned copy of the uploaded photograph and signature, which causes issues if the server rejects the upload.
• Ignoring the negative marking scheme and attempting random guesses, which reduces net scores.

1. Visit the official UPSSSC website (upsssc.gov.in) on or after 21/04/2026.
2. Click on the “Apply Online” link for Advt No. 05/2026 and read the notification thoroughly.
3. Register using a valid mobile number and email ID; note down the generated registration number.
4. Fill in personal, educational, and PET 2025 score details carefully.
5. Upload a recent passport‑size photograph (≤50 KB) and signature (≤20 KB) as per specifications.
6. Pay the application fee of ₹25 via online banking, debit/credit card, or e‑wallet.
7. Before final submission, preview the entire form and verify the PET registration number – a common source of rejection.
8. Submit the form and take a printout of the confirmation page for future reference.
