UPPCL has not printed cut-off marks for this post in the advertisement, and the notices on the Vacancy/Results page give selected lists rather than the last mark. The printed bar is 67 of 200 in Part II.

• Keep your ITI trade theory fresh. It is three-quarters of the paper.
• Be fit and used to climbing, since the skill test is practical.
