The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UPSSSC) has officially announced a new exam schedule for the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) of the UP Home Guard recruitment drive. The updated dates have been published on the commission's official portal at upsssc.gov.in, and candidates are advised to regularly check the website for any further changes or corrections.
The UP Home Guard recruitment has long been one of the most sought-after government job opportunities in the state, with thousands of aspirants applying every cycle. The selection process typically comprises multiple stages, including a written examination, Physical Efficiency Test, document verification, and a final merit list preparation. The PET stage is particularly crucial as it evaluates the physical fitness of candidates against predefined standards set by the commission.
According to the newly released schedule, the PET will be conducted across multiple centers throughout the state in a phased manner. UPSSSC has emphasized that candidates must carry their admit cards and original identity documents on the day of the test. The commission has also reminded aspirants that failure to appear for the PET without prior intimation may result in disqualification from the selection process.
Eligibility criteria for the UP Home Guard recruitment include age limits ranging from 18 to 40 years, depending on category relaxations, and a minimum educational qualification of Class 10 pass. Male candidates are required to meet specific physical standards, such as running a prescribed distance within a given time limit, while female candidates have separate fitness benchmarks. The recruitment notification also specifies height and chest measurement criteria for male applicants.
Candidates who appeared for the written examination and qualified for the next stage will receive their PET admit cards separately. UPSSSC has stated that the admit cards will be made available for download on the official website well before the scheduled test dates. Aspirants are encouraged to print multiple copies of their admit cards and carry them to the examination venue along with a valid photo identification proof.
The commission has also released a detailed information brochure containing venue addresses, reporting times, and instructions for each testing center. Candidates are urged to read the brochure carefully before visiting the PET venue. Any discrepancies in personal details on the admit card should be reported to the commission immediately through the grievance portal.
