UPSSSC Forest Guard Details
Selection Process
Both recruitments run on a PET score first. The 2023 cycle has already gone through a written main exam, a physical standard and efficiency test and a medical, and now a document check. After the medical, 2790 candidates were listed for that check, and another 12 were listed provisionally, subject to their medical result.
Documents go up only through the portal on upsssc.gov.in. Anything sent by e-mail or post is not accepted, and no second chance is given for a missed upload.
How to Apply
The applications for 12-Exam/2026 have closed and the advertisement is no longer on the site, so the fee, age limit and vacancies could not be read. As with other Commission recruitments, you need a PET score card of the right year to apply, and the form is filled through the One Time Registration login. Watch the Notifications page for the next forest guard advertisement.
