Educational Qualification and Experience
The qualification differs by trade but follows the same broad structure: High School with Science and Mathematics, a relevant ITI trade certificate, and two years of relevant experience obtained after the prescribed qualification.
| Post | Essential qualification |
|---|---|
| PTCUL Technician Grade-II (Electrical) | High School/equivalent with Science and Mathematics + recognized ITI/All India or State Vocational Certificate in Electrician trade + 2 years relevant post-qualification experience |

The notification allows relevant experience certificates from the types of government, semi-government, limited/private limited, registered private companies or registered firms specified in the advertisement. Because the experience must be post-qualification, candidates should check the dates on both the ITI credential and experience certificate before applying.
Uttarakhand Eligibility Requirement
For direct Group-C recruitment outside the Uttarakhand Public Service Commission’s purview, the advertisement states that an applicant must satisfy at least one of the prescribed Uttarakhand-link conditions, subject to the detailed exceptions in the notification. These include:
- registration with an employment office located in Uttarakhand up to the application closing date; or
- holding a valid Uttarakhand domicile/permanent residence certificate; or
- having passed High School and Intermediate/equivalent level education from recognised institutions located in Uttarakhand.
The notice also contains specific provisions for certain serving government/public-sector employees and family situations. Candidates relying on an exception should read that clause in the official PDF rather than assuming eligibility.
Age Limit
The age cut-off date is 1 July 2026.
| Category / rule | Age provision |
|---|---|
| Standard age range | 18–42 years |
| Uttarakhand SC/ST/OBC | 5 years relaxation in upper age limit |
| Uttarakhand PwD for Group-C posts | 10 years relaxation in upper age limit |
| Ex-servicemen | As per the applicable Uttarakhand rules stated in the notification |
| Other eligible categories | As provided under applicable state rules / notification |
The notice specifies that a standard-category applicant should not have been born after 1 July 2008 or before 2 July 1984. Candidates can use Regal Naukri’s Age Calculator to check the cut-off date, but the UKSSSC rules control final eligibility.
Salary and Employment

|---|---|
| Mode | Offline objective examination |
| Maximum marks | 100 |

Merit is prepared from written-examination marks. When two or more candidates receive the same marks, the notification provides age and then English alphabetical order as tie-breaking criteria.
Selection Process
The broad selection sequence is:
- Offline written competitive examination
- Preparation of merit on written marks
- Document / record scrutiny for candidates called by the commission
- Allocation of post/department according to merit, eligibility and the preferences obtained by UKSSSC
- Final appointment subject to all original documents, character/eligibility requirements and medical/fitness conditions of the concerned employer
Candidates must continue to satisfy all essential qualifications at the relevant verification stage. Producing an application form or taking the written examination does not create a right to appointment.
