UPSSSC Cane Supervisor Details
Selection Process
Shortlisting is on the normalized score in PET-2025. Anyone with a zero or negative absolute or normalized PET score was dropped first. The Commission then took everyone down to a normalized score of 0.55 for the 1,182 posts, which gave 42,087 shortlisted candidates. That figure follows a High Court of Allahabad order in a writ petition of 2015 on how many candidates may be called against each vacancy.
The shortlisted candidates sit the main exam. The Commission's notices for the main exam name no interview.
How to Apply
The window for this round is shut. Applications went through the Commission's online portal using the PET-2025 registration number. A new advertisement for the next cycle, if one is issued, will appear on the Notifications page only while its application window is open.
