UPPCL Technician Grade 2 Syllabus, Exam Pattern, Eligibility
123 topics across 4 subjects. Every question carries a written explanation.
"Technician Grade 2" is the older name of the UPPCL electrician-level post. Since 2020 the Vidyut Sewa Ayog advertises it as Technician (Electrical), so this record duplicates the UPPCL Technician exam.
The last advertisement under the old name was 03/VSA/2018/TG-2 of 17 February 2018. It offered 2,779 posts: 2,115 in UPPCL and 664 in the transmission company, UPPTCL.
