UKSSSC Junior Assistant Syllabus, Exam Pattern, Eligibility

The scheme was approved by the state government on 25 August 2026. The paper tests General Hindi, general knowledge and general studies in one go. Wrong answers lose marks in the commission's papers; the 2025 forest advertisement set it at one quarter of the mark, and the advertisement for your post is the thing to check.

The 40 marks of general studies cover reasoning, history, geography, political science, economics, national and international current affairs and the basics of computers. Hindi covers grammar, vocabulary, sandhi, idioms, official letter writing and office Hindi. The full syllabus is in the commission's PDF.

Intermediate (Class 12) from the UP or Uttarakhand board, or an exam the government treats as equal. Hindi typing at 4000 key depressions an hour is required, and some postings add MS Office. Age is 18 to 42, except the Tourism Development Council listing, which asks for 21 to 42. Each listing in the advertisement carries its own condition, so read the one for your department.

Preference goes to candidates who served at least two years in the Territorial Army or hold an NCC B or C certificate. A man with more than one living wife, or a woman married to such a man, cannot be appointed.

The approved scheme has two steps: the written paper, then a typing test that only qualifies. Merit comes from the paper.

Most Junior Assistant posts are on Level 3, ₹21,700 to ₹69,100. The two posts in the Advocate General's office at the High Court are on Level 2, ₹19,900 to ₹63,200. Computer Assistant and Junior Assistant-cum-Data Entry Operator posts are on Level 4, ₹25,500 to ₹81,100.

Apply on the commission's recruitment portal after registering once. Fee: ₹300 for unreserved and Uttarakhand OBC, ₹150 for Uttarakhand SC, ST and EWS and for disabled candidates of the state, nothing for orphans. Upload the Class 10 certificate, both sides of Aadhaar, and the category certificate. A submitted form cannot be edited; cancel it before the last date and apply again.

Admit cards are downloaded from the commission website. Nothing is posted by mail.
