Exciting Update for Aspiring Administrative Officers

A significant announcement has been made for the numerous youths aiming to become administrative officers in Uttar Pradesh. The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) has officially unveiled the results of the Combined State/Upper Subordinate Services (PCS) Main Examination for 2025. This marks the end of a long wait for candidates who participated in the main examination. According to the results, 2,297 candidates have successfully qualified and are now shortlisted for the interview phase, which aims to fill a total of 812 vacancies. The attention of these successful candidates now shifts to the final and most critical stage of the selection process.

Examination Details

The UPPSC conducted the PCS Main Examination from March 29 to April 1, 2026, across various centers in Prayagraj and Lucknow. Out of 10,284 candidates who passed the preliminary examination, only those who appeared for the main examination were considered. The Commission has compiled the list of successful candidates based on their performance and scores in the main examination.

Recruitment Process Overview

The recruitment process includes 814 vacancies across 28 different posts. For two specific posts, selection will be based solely on written examination scores, with results for these posts announced alongside the final selection results. For the remaining 812 vacancies across 27 post types, selection will depend on both written examination and interview performance, with 2,297 candidates deemed eligible for the interview stage.

Legal Considerations

As per an official statement from UPPSC Secretary Girjesh Kumar Tyagi, the examination results are contingent upon the final decision in Writ Petition No. 4253 of 2026 (Archit Shivam Mishra vs. State of Uttar Pradesh & Others), which is currently pending in the Allahabad High Court. Additionally, results for female candidates from outside Uttar Pradesh are subject to the High Court's final ruling regarding Special Appeal No. 475 (D)/2019, filed by the Uttar Pradesh government.

Result Availability

The results of the Main Examination have been posted on the notice board of the UPPSC office in Prayagraj and are also accessible on the official website, uppsc.up.nic.in. Candidates can check their results using their roll numbers. A detailed notification regarding the submission of post preferences and interview dates for successful candidates will be issued separately.

Merit List and Final Selection

The Commission has indicated that detailed information about candidates' scores in the Main Examination and cut-off marks will only be disclosed after the final selection results are announced. Candidates are advised against submitting applications under the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005, for information regarding their scores or cut-off marks at this time.

For those whose roll numbers are listed, the journey towards becoming administrative officers in Uttar Pradesh appears promising. However, it is important to note that passing the Main Examination and reaching the interview stage does not guarantee final selection. With 2,297 candidates competing for 812 vacancies, the competition is expected to be intense.
