This is a crucial time for students preparing for government jobs in UP. Competition has intensified, and new policies may bring changes to recruitment processes.
The biggest question right now is when UPSSSC PET 2025 will be announced, how long its validity will be, and what new changes it will bring.
In this article, we’ll address all these questions. You’ll learn about the new policy and when the next recruitment will take place.
UPSSSC PET 2025 Proposal: New Decision and Historical Context
Current Status and Approval Process
A few days ago, a letter went viral on social media and newspapers. It stated that the UP government has approved PET 2025.
According to this letter, PET will now be conducted every year. This news has brought new hope for many students.
Some journalists and official sources believe this letter is genuine. However, no official confirmation has been provided yet. Neither the government nor the commission has made any official announcement. But the language and signature on this letter appear largely authentic.
Decision on 3-Year Validity
The earlier proposal suggested that PET’s validity would be for just one year. This meant you couldn’t benefit from future recruitments after taking the PET exam once. But this has now changed. The government has decided that PET will remain valid for 3 years.
The main reason behind this decision was student demand. Most students wanted to extend their recruitment opportunities for three years after taking PET once.
The benefit is that now you can apply for any recruitment over three years after taking PET once. This will make planning and preparation easier.
New Exam and Recruitment Structure
New Format of PET
PET aims to simplify the recruitment process for Group C government jobs. It will include questions on mathematics, general knowledge, current affairs, and computers.
The exam structure is as follows:
- Total questions: 100
- Time: 2 hours
- Negative marking: 0.25 percent
- Subjects: Hindi, Mathematics, GK, Reasoning, Computer
This exam will be conducted every year. Students should prepare keeping the exam level in mind.
Impact and Validity of PET
The 3-year validity means that if you take PET in 2025 and the result comes out in October 2025, you can apply for various recruitments over the next 3 years.
For example, if the PET 2025 result is announced in October, its validity will extend until October 2028. This allows you to benefit from recruitments happening in 2026, 2027, and 2028.
It’s also important to note that if you take the PET exam twice, say in 2025 and 2027, your best rank will be considered.
Exam Schedule and Timing
Most likely, the application forms will be available in May or June. The exam might be held in August. Results could be announced in October or November.
If the exam is conducted earlier, results might come by December or January. This could also mean that the next recruitment might be completed by the end of the year.
New Notifications and Decisions
Department and Commission Status
The Commission has decided that PET will be held annually. This proposal has been approved so far. However, we’re still waiting for confirmation on the Commission’s website and official signature.
Some experts believe that PET will begin from 2025. The government has also indicated the same.
Waiting for Official Updates
The Commission will soon issue a notification. Information about how to apply, eligibility criteria, and exam dates will also be available soon.
All interested students are advised to prepare on time and keep track of official announcements.

Recruitment Process and Estimated Vacancies
Number of Lekhpal and Other Positions
It is expected that more than 10,000 positions might be announced this time. This number could be higher than last year.
You should also prepare for potential changes in age limits and qualifications for new positions.
Level of Competition
Looking at the figures from 2022 and 2023, millions of students participate in PET. Getting better marks will impact your chances in future recruitments.
Scoring well in the exam is the only way to make your government job journey easier.
Easy Tips for Exam Preparation
- Know the exam syllabus and focus on important topics.
- Solve previous years’ general knowledge, mathematics, and aptitude questions.
- Manage your time effectively.
- Be mindful of negative marking in the exam.
- Register on time and keep necessary documents ready.
Court Cases and Legal Issues
Some students are wondering if the court could challenge this decision. Previous exams from 2022 and 2023 also went to court.
However, a strong case can only be made once the government makes an official announcement. So far, there has been no such official statement.
So, even if these matters go to court, the outcome will depend on government policy and the Commission’s decision.
Conclusion
- Current news and official evidence suggest that PET may start from 2025.
- The decision on 3-year validity is a major relief for students.
- The exam structure and process may now be better and easier than before.
- Start preparing and keep yourself updated on time.
My advice to all students is to study continuously, avoid rumors, and wait for official announcements. The right information at the right time is the key to success.
