UPSSSC PET Result 2025 has officially been declared, putting an end to the long wait for more than 25 lakh registered candidates. Conducted by the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) on September 6 and 7, the Preliminary Eligibility Test (PET) acts as the mandatory gateway for future Group B and Group C government job recruitment in the state.
According to official data, over 19.4 lakh candidates appeared for the exam, making it one of the largest state-level eligibility tests in India. The PET scorecard will remain valid for three years, meaning candidates who qualify can apply for multiple upcoming vacancies without having to reappear for the PET again until 2028.
This year’s result is especially significant due to rising competition in government jobs and the ongoing push to reduce youth unemployment in the country. Thousands of vacancies for posts such as Lekhpal, Clerk, Junior Assistant, Village Development Officer (VDO), and other administrative positions are expected to be released in upcoming recruitment cycles.

This makes PET one of the most powerful long-term eligibility tools for aspirants targeting Uttar Pradesh government jobs.
EXPECTED CATEGORY-WISE CUTOFFS (Based on Trends)
Note: These are estimated ranges based on exam difficulty and previous trends. Final cutoffs will be released in an official PDF by UPSSSC.
| Category | Expected Cutoff (2025) | 2023 Cutoff | Remarks |

| General (UR) | 60 – 65 | 62.96 | Slight drop due to easier paper |
| OBC / EWS | 58 – 63 | 62.96 | Higher competition |
| SC | 55 – 60 | 61.80 | Policy & vacancy-based change |

VACANCIES UNLOCKED THROUGH PET 2025
Candidates qualifying PET 2025 will be eligible for positions such as:
• Lekhpal
• Junior Assistant
• Clerk
• VDO (Village Development Officer)
• Forest Guard
• Lab Technician
• Other Group B & C administrative roles
Current estimates suggest 3,000+ immediate vacancies with a pipeline of 20,000+ positions expected across the next recruitment cycles.
ECONOMIC IMPACT: WHY THIS RESULT MATTERS BEYOND EXAMS
Beyond being just a recruitment exam, UPSSSC PET is now a major indicator of human capital flow into the formal economy.
At a time when India’s youth unemployment rate stands high, especially in the 15–29 age group, mass recruitment through structured exams plays a vital stabilizing role:
• Converts informal workers into formal salaried employees
• Increases tax contributions & pension participation
• Strengthens rural & semi-urban economies
• Reduces migration pressure to metro cities
• Boosts consumption, credit access, and housing stability
Each new government job creates multiple indirect opportunities — in housing, transport, education, and local businesses — creating a ripple effect across districts in Uttar Pradesh.
UPSSSC PET 2025 thus becomes a key contributor in UP’s long-term economic roadmap, as the state continues positioning itself for trillion-dollar economic ambitions in future decades.

What is a Good Score in UPSSSC PET 2025? (and What is a Good PET Score?)
There is no single “good score” because the minimum qualifying score for eligibility (the cut-off) changes based on the specific Main Examination you apply for.
1. General Qualifying Cut-off (to get the certificate)
This is the minimum score needed to receive the UPSSSC PET Certificate, which is a prerequisite for all subsequent UPSSSC Group ‘B’ and ‘C’ main exams. Based on recent trends, the minimum expected cut-off marks for the PET 2025 are generally in the following range:
Category
Expected Cut-Off Marks (Out of 100)
General/Unreserved
60 – 65 marks
OBC / EWS
57 – 63 marks
SC / ST
50 – 55 marks
2. “Good Score” for Selection (to qualify for Mains)
A truly “good score” in the UPSSSC PET is one that places you high in the percentile (e.g., above the 90th percentile) to ensure you are shortlisted for the Main Exams that have fewer vacancies (like Lekhpal, VDO, etc.).
For competitive posts, the effective shortlisting cut-off is often much higher than the general qualifying mark. For example, in past recruitments, the cut-off for the most competitive roles exceeded 70-80 marks.
The score required depends directly on: the number of vacancies announced for a specific post and the number of candidates who apply for that post. Fewer vacancies mean a higher required PET score.
What is the Pattern of the UPSSSC Junior Assistant Exam 2025?
The selection process for the UPSSSC Junior Assistant post typically involves a Written Exam and a Qualifying Typing Test.
1. Written Exam Pattern (Objective Type)
The written examination consists of 100 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) for a total of 100 marks. There is a negative marking of 1/4th mark for every wrong answer. The time duration is 120 minutes (2 hours).
