Eligibility at a glance

Educational qualification

You need to have passed Class 12 from a board recognised in India. Marks percentage is not stated as a condition in the sources reviewed. Check that your final result or passing certificate is available by the last date of application, since the Commission rejects candidates who cannot show it.

Computer certificate and typing speed

• CCC or equivalent: The Course on Computer Concepts certificate from DOEACC or NIELIT is the usual proof. Check the advertisement for which equivalents are accepted.

• Typing speed: 25 words per minute in Hindi or 30 words per minute in English. It is tested at the typing stage, which is qualifying.

PET requirement

Junior Assistant is a Group C post, and in this cycle candidates were shortlisted for the mains exam on the basis of their UPSSSC PET score. The PET score is valid for three years.

Age limit and relaxation

The age limit is 18 to 40 years as on 1 July 2024 for the latest cycle. Candidates born outside the window were not eligible.

The exact relaxation years are not listed because they depend on the state rules applied in the notification. Take them from the advertisement.

Nationality and other conditions

• Nationality: Indian citizens, with valid government-issued proof.

• Domicile and reservation: Uttar Pradesh reservation applies to eligible candidates with the right category certificate.

• Medical fitness: checked at the final stage.
