About This Recruitment
Union Public Service Commission has notified recruitment for 40 posts under Advt. No. 09/2026. Applications are accepted online from 25 Jul 2026 to 14 Aug 2026. The prescribed qualification is A degree or master's degree in the discipline of the post, with two to three years' experience in most cases. The vacancies are spread across 12 distinct posts, and the category-wise split for each is set out in the vacancy table below.
Selection is made through Direct recruitment by selection and Minimum suitability marks. Selected candidates are placed in the pay scale of Levels 7 to 11 of the 7th CPC matrix, with non-practising allowance for the medical posts. The place of posting is New Delhi, Lucknow, Puducherry and other stations.
The entire process is completed online, from registration through to fee payment and the final printout of the confirmation page. Check the notification for whether a correction window is offered, because most fields cannot be amended once the form is submitted.
Read the official notification in full before you begin the form. Eligibility, fees and dates are revised through corrigenda more often than candidates expect, and an application submitted against the wrong criteria is rejected at document verification rather than at submission — by which point the cycle is over.
