Exam Pattern
- Stage 1 — PET 2025 Shortlisting: Firstly, UPSSSC shortlists candidates strictly on the basis of their UPSSSC PET 2025 Score Card. Consequently, only PET-qualified candidates advance to the Written Examination stage — making PET performance a critical gateway from the very beginning.
- Stage 2 — Written Examination: Subsequently, shortlisted candidates appear in a Written Examination covering Agriculture Science, Horticulture, Soil Science, Plant Protection, General Hindi, General Knowledge, and Reasoning topics at the graduation level. Notably, the written test evaluates domain expertise directly relevant to technical assistant duties in UP’s agriculture and allied departments.
- Stage 3 — Skill Test: Additionally, candidates who clear the written examination attend a Skill Test assessing practical competencies relevant to agriculture technical assistance roles. Moreover, candidates with Territorial Army service or an NCC ‘B’ Certificate receive preference during this stage as per UPSSSC norms.
- Stage 4 — Medical Examination: Furthermore, shortlisted candidates undergo a Medical Examination to confirm physical fitness before the final appointment stage.
- Stage 5 — Document Verification: Finally, UPSSSC-authorised officials verify all original certificates — specifically, Agriculture degree, PET 2025 scorecard, NCC / Territorial Army documents where applicable, caste certificate, and domicile records — before confirming the final appointment.
