UPSSSC Stenographer Important Dates, Cut Off

Since the government order of 20 November 2020 the Commission runs two tiers. You sit the Preliminary Eligibility Test (PET) first, and only candidates holding that score card can apply for a main exam. Each main exam names the PET year it runs on.

The calendar shows the stenographer main exam in two steps: a written paper, then a Hindi dictation and typing test. Interviews were discontinued for lower-level posts in 2017. Results are looked up by candidate on the results page.

Apply online from the live advertisement on upsssc.gov.in, logging in with your PET registration number and an OTP. Fees, dates and the qualification are in each advertisement. The Commission also keeps a One Time Registration whose details carry into later forms.

The calendar is dated 3 August 2026 and says dates can change. A new stenographer advertisement appears on the Notifications page only while its window is open.

No cut-off marks for this post were found on the Commission's site. Results are a per-candidate lookup. Notices for each cycle appear under Current Status of Published Advertisements.

• Sit the PET every year. Without that score card you can't apply for any main exam.
• Practise Hindi dictation and typing regularly, since the final stage is a skill test on that.
• Keep your certificates ready before the next advertisement opens.
