NEW DELHI – The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UPSSSC Pet 2025) has published the exam city details for the Preliminary Eligibility Test (PET) 2025. Released on 27 August 2025, this update helps applicants get ready for the test set for 6 and 7 September 2025.
Aspirants can now go to the official site (upsssc.gov.in) to check which city they have been assigned for the exam. With this information, candidates have early notice for making travel plans and arranging accommodation if needed. UPSSSC Pet 2025 aims to offer a fair and organized process for those applying for Group B and Group C positions across the state.
The UPSSSC PET acts as a qualifying test for a range of roles, such as UP Lekhpal, Junior Assistant, X-Ray Technician, and other posts in various government departments in Uttar Pradesh. This is not a direct recruitment exam, but a screening test.
Candidates can use their PET scores to apply for different job notices. The UPSSSC has extended the validity of PET scores to three years (announced on 2 May 2025), giving job seekers more time and reducing the stress and cost of repeated exams. Many have welcomed this move, as it reduces the need to sit for the PET year after year.
Applicants can check which city they have been assigned by signing in to the UPSSSC Pet 2025 website with their registration number, birth date, and security code. The commission made it clear that the city intimation slip is different from the admit card. The official admit card will have more details and will be released a few days before the exam, most likely by late August 2025.

The admit card will include the exam centre address, roll number, exam time, and instructions for exam day. The UPSSSC Pet 2025 will take place in 48 districts across Uttar Pradesh, with two shifts each day: the first from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, and the second from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Centre assignments depend on seat availability and logistics, and spreading the centres across the state makes it easier for candidates to reach their exam locations.
The city information slip is a practical step for candidates, letting them get ready for travel and stay arrangements well before the test date. Candidates should print this slip for quick reference and check the commission’s website for any updates about the admit card or other key notices.
The commission has stressed that all candidates must bring their admit card along with a valid photo identification, such as Aadhaar, Voter ID, or Passport, to enter the exam hall. Those who arrive late or forget these documents will not be allowed to sit the exam. This rule is strict and helps prevent malpractices.
The PET consists of 100 multiple-choice questions on General Studies, General Hindi, Numerical Ability, and Reasoning Ability. The total marks are 200, and candidates get two hours to finish the test. For each wrong answer, 0.25 marks are deducted.
A score of 33 percent is needed to pass
The content of the exam matches the NCERT syllabus for secondary and senior secondary levels, so anyone with a Class 10 or equivalent qualification can apply. A minimum score of 33 percent is needed to pass. Applicants should study using the official syllabus and exam pattern to boost their chances.
The announcement has drawn plenty of attention amongst job seekers, sparking busy discussions on social media about preparation and logistics. Many welcomed the three-year score validity and the easier application process.
However, some hope for clear and timely updates, especially on the admit card release. As exam day gets closer, candidates are urged to keep an eye on official updates and concentrate on their studies for the chance to secure a government job in Uttar Pradesh.
For more information, aspirants should go to upsssc.gov.in and review all eligibility criteria. Applicants must be between 18 and 40 years old as of 1 July 2025 (with some relaxations for reserved categories). With the release of exam city details, the countdown to UPSSSC PET 2025 has started, marking an important point for thousands aiming for a government career in the state.
