The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UPSSSC) has formally issued its latest recruitment notification for the post of Pharmacist, advertising 560 vacant positions across healthcare institutions throughout the state. The announcement marks a significant hiring drive aimed at strengthening pharmaceutical services in Uttar Pradesh's public health infrastructure.
According to the official notification, the recruitment will cover pharmacists posted at primary health centres, community health centres, district hospitals, and other government medical facilities across Uttar Pradesh. The UPSSSC has specified that applications will be accepted through its official online portal, and candidates are advised to apply before the last date to avoid missing the window.
The eligibility criteria for the Pharmacist position require candidates to hold a Diploma in Pharmacy (D.Pharm) or a Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm) degree from a recognised institution. Candidates must also meet the age limits prescribed by the commission, with relaxations applicable for reserved categories as per Uttar Pradesh government norms.

The state, being India's most populous, faces persistent challenges in staffing its vast network of health facilities adequately.
