Candidates who have completed their online registration are advised to gear up their preparation, as the commission will conduct the examination across multiple shifts to accommodate millions of applicants statewide.
To ensure smooth management at examination centers, UPSSSC will conduct the PET 2026 exam in 6 distinct shifts over a three-day period. Each shift will last for 2 hours.
| Examination Shift | Reporting Time | Exam Duration | Shift Timings |
