Exam Pattern

Subsequently, shortlisted candidates appear in a Written Examination covering general knowledge, reasoning, Hindi language, and basic computer awareness at the Intermediate level. Moreover, candidates who clear the written stage proceed to a Physical Measurement Test (PMT) and Physical Standards Test (PST), which assess height, chest, and physical fitness parameters as prescribed under the UP Secretariat Security & Fire Service Rules. Additionally, final selection is completed through Document Verification of all educational, caste, and experience-related certificates. Candidates should refer to the official UPSSSC notification for the detailed written exam syllabus and PMT / PST physical standards applicable to each post.
