No vacancies are earmarked for the Divyang (PwD) horizontal category in these three posts. Reservation benefits are available only to Uttarakhand-domiciled candidates who claim them in the application.

The EWS certificate must be issued between 01 April 2026 and 25 November 2026 and relate to income for 2025–26. An OBC certificate remains valid for three years from its issue date and must be valid on the application deadline.

An ex-serviceman who has already obtained a job using the ex-servicemen quota cannot claim that quota again.

Eligibility Criteria

Educational Qualification

Applicants must hold the specified High School qualification and ITI trade certificate for the post they select. The experience certificate may be issued by a government or semi-government organisation, a limited or private limited company, or a registered private company or firm. Required qualifications must be obtained by the final application date.

For these Group C posts, candidates must also satisfy at least one of the following Uttarakhand-related conditions: be registered with an employment exchange in Uttarakhand by the application deadline; hold a Uttarakhand domicile or permanent-residence certificate; or have passed High School and Intermediate, or equivalent examinations, from a recognised institution in Uttarakhand. Candidates already employed in Uttarakhand state government service do not need employment-exchange registration. Ex-servicemen registered with a District Sainik Kalyan office are treated as registered for this purpose.

The candidate must be an Indian citizen or belong to another eligible nationality category identified in the notification, including a Tibetan refugee who arrived in India before 1 January 1962 or a person of Indian origin who migrated from specified countries. Candidates in these other eligible categories must hold an eligibility certificate from the state government.

Age Limit

Applicants must be between 18 and 42 years old on 01 July 2026. This corresponds to birth dates from 02 July 1984 through 01 July 2008. The listed age relaxations for Uttarakhand categories are five years for SC, ST and OBC candidates; ten years for Divyang (PwD) candidates; and five years for dependents of freedom fighters. For ex-servicemen, military service is deducted from actual age, but the resulting age must not exceed the upper age limit by more than three years.

Application Fee

Payment must be made online using a debit card, credit card, net banking or UPI. The notification says that a payment amount will be refunded if the transaction fails for a technical reason.

Salary & Pay Scale

Selection Process

Selection is based on one offline objective written examination, followed by document verification. There is no interview. The written test is conducted using an OMR sheet and has four-option multiple-choice questions for a total of 100 marks over two hours. Questions relate to the educational qualification for the relevant post; candidates should consult Appendix 1 of the official notification for the syllabus.

Minimum qualifying marks are 45% for UR, EWS and OBC candidates and 35% for SC and ST candidates. Marking multiple options, using whitener or making a cutting on the OMR sheet is treated as a wrong answer. Candidates may take the question booklet and the third copy of the OMR sheet home. The answer key will be published on the Commission’s website, and an objection costs INR 50 per question.

If candidates have equal scores, the older candidate is ranked higher; if their ages are also equal, ranking is decided by English alphabetical order. Allotment of the post and department depends on merit and the preferences entered in the application.

Eligible candidates should check the post-specific trade, experience and Uttarakhand-related conditions, then complete their application by 25 November 2026. Use the official UKSSSC website for the application and for updates to the examination schedule.
