UPSSSC Youth Welfare Officer Recruitment 2026 Overview

Of the full total, 368 vacancies belong to the officer cadre and 44 to Exercise Trainer.

Published recruitment tables further divide the Officer vacancies into 142 special-selection + 226 regular-selection posts, while Exercise Trainer is reported as 22 special-selection + 22 regular-selection posts. Candidates should use the official UPSSSC category table when selecting the exact reservation option in the application form.

The 6 November deadline is the last date for a new application and payment. The 13 November date is a later window for permitted correction and fee reconciliation.

Who Can Apply?

This recruitment is linked to UPSSSC PET-2025. Candidates need the scorecard issued for PET-2025 and must satisfy the post-specific eligibility conditions.

The Main Examination shortlist is prepared from the normalized PET-2025 score. Having only a PET registration number should not be treated as enough if the scorecard or shortlisting status does not meet the notification conditions.

Educational Qualification

Regional Youth Welfare & Pradeshik Vikas Dal Officer

A recognised Bachelor's degree in any discipline or an accepted equivalent qualification is required.

Exercise Trainer

Applicants need both:

• a recognised Bachelor's degree; and
• the prescribed physical-education credential such as D.P.Ed., B.P.Ed., B.P.E. or a recognised equivalent / degree in Physical Education.

Because Exercise Trainer has an additional professional qualification requirement, candidates should compare the exact name of their certificate or degree with the notification before applying.

Use the Government Job Eligibility Checker to organise your post-wise eligibility review.

Age Limit

Applicants should be at least 21 years old and not more than 40 years old on 1 July 2026.

Relaxation for eligible categories is governed by Uttar Pradesh rules. Anyone claiming relaxation should verify the exact category condition and supporting certificate before submitting the form.

Use the Regal Naukri Age Calculator with 1 July 2026 as the cut-off date.

Application Fee

The reported charge is an online processing fee of ₹25. Pay only through the options shown inside the UPSSSC application system when the form opens.

Physical Standards

Physical standards apply after the written-examination stage.

Minimum Physical Measurement Standards

The physical-efficiency events differ by post and gender. Candidates should use the official detailed notice for the complete event-wise qualifying standards instead of assuming that the Officer and Exercise Trainer tests are identical.

Selection Process

The recruitment is expected to move through these stages:

1. Shortlisting from PET-2025 normalized score.
2. Main Written Examination.
3. Physical Measurement Test (PMT).
4. Post-specific Physical Efficiency / Eligibility Test.
5. Document Verification.

UPSSSC will announce the Main Examination schedule separately.
